From wartime suffering to Bach's first cantatas

The suffering of war, death, destruction, and the search for solace are timeless. Pygmalion explores intimate, comforting songs from the Thirty Years' War, which raged at the beginning of the 17th century—considered by some to be the "First World War." The music of that period had a profound influence on Johann Sebastian Bach. War and peace in a musical nutshell.
