Episode 1
Donald Macleod considers how history has treated Pachelbel, and how in his music he blended the intellectual style of north Germany with the lyrical mode of the South.
Donald Macleod examines how history has treated Pachelbel, given that there is only a handful of documents from which to re-construct his life story. In his music, Donald considers how in the 17 century, Pachelbel's position in the central region of Germany allowed him to blend the intellectual style of the north with the lyrical mode of the south.
