This album is a CD/SACD hybrid, meaning it will play on ordinary CD players but requires an SACD player to access its higher-definition layer.
Compositional Technique

Historical Context
Bach directed the Collegium Musicum in Leipzig, which met weekly at Zimmerman's coffee house and comprised students and gifted amateurs performing the latest music.
Composer's Artistic Vision
J.S. Bach's entire musical output, including his instrumental works, can be seen as an extension of his religious beliefs.
