Johann Sebastian Bach – The Architect of Harmony

In this episode of Classical Giants, we step into the sound world of Johann Sebastian Bach, whose mastery of counterpoint and harmony defined the very language of Western music. From the organ lofts of Leipzig to the grand suites and sacred works that still inspire awe, Bach united technical brilliance with profound spiritual depth. His compositions, from the Brandenburg Concertos to the Mass in B minor, reveal a mind that balanced mathematical precision with transcendent beauty. Though underappreciated in his own lifetime, Bach’s music became the foundation upon which centuries of composers built. Today, he remains not only a composer but a cornerstone of the very idea of music itself.
