Katie Derham presents Baroque masterworks. Charpentier: Te Deum. Bach: Toccata and Fugue, BWV540. Telemann: Overture-Suite, BWV593. Marais: Les folies d'Espagne.

Katie Derham today spotlights some early works by JS Bach and some masterworks of the French Baroque as part of Baroque Spring. The choir which Bach himself conducted is heard in a joyful motet recorded in St Thomas's Church Leipzig and the famous 'Eurovision' trumpet fanfare which begins Charpentier's Te Deum is heard in the glorious acoustic of the Basilica of St Denis, the burial place of a host of French kings.
