Katie Derham highlights some masterworks of the Baroque as part of Baroque Spring. Today Bach's monumental The Art of Fugue is heard in a performance given at the Benedictine Abbey of Melk, perched high on the cliffs above the river Danube. Before that, some jewel-like keyboard miniatures of Francois Couperin are juxtaposed with Ravel's homage to him in an unbroken sequence played by the French pianist, Alexandre Tharaud in the imposing cathedral in Gerona with its magnificent views of Catalonia.
