Date

Description

Unlike any other member of his illustrious family before him, Johann Christian Bach (who was to marry the soprano Cecilia Grassi) maintained a lifelong connection with the world of opera. He was, incidentally, also the only member who converted from Lutheranism to Catholicism.

From the CD-Book Amadis de Gaule de Johann Chirstian Bach (Palazzetto Bru Zane, collection Opéra français, 2012). Translation: Mary Pardoe.
