Bach revisited - Gardiner in Saxony and Thuringia
British conductor John Eliot Gardiner performs all of Johann Sebastian Bach's cantatas in a concert series. Several of these concerts take place in Saxony and Thuringia, where Bach lived. This offers Gardiner the opportunity to discover Bach, his life and work in his own, very personal way. Bach Revisited follows Gardiner to Eisenach, Arnstadt, Pomßen and Leipzig. The British conductor visits the old church at Pomßen, discovers that Martin Luther and J.S. Bach attended the same school, and discusses the new Bach organ in St Thomas's Church in Leipzig with the local organist.
