Best of Studs Terkel
Celebrating J.S. Bach (3/21/1978)
Studs Terkel was an ardent fan of J.S. Bach. The German composer and virtuoso of the Baroque period was born on March 21, 1685. In 1980, Studs crafted a tribute featuring Andrés Segovia, Dame Myra Hess, Pete Seeger, Bidu Sayão, Pablo Casals, Jean-Pierre Rampal, and others.
