In this third volume of the series, A Life in Music, Paul Agnew and Les Arts Florissants take us to Cöthen (1717-1723) where Bach enjoyed one of the happiest times of his life. With a group of distinguished soloists, they help us rediscover some of the outstanding works of these inspiring years, including the famous Cantata the composer dedicated to his patron and friend, Prince Leopold.
