Multiple birthday cakes
1685
Sunday 2 December 2007 13:00-14:00 (Radio 3)
The year 1685 is considered an annus mirabilis as it was the birth year of three great composers, Handel, JS Bach and Domenico Scarlatti. Catherine Bott presents a programme that puts this year into the context of the musical world these three were born into. Music includes works by Purcell, Corelli, Bononcini and Lully.
