When the music played in Germany

A journey through time to the world of the Baroque Germany in the Baroque period was filled with music; whether for the entertainment of the nobility, at every church service or at the village festivals of the common people - there was always fiddling, flute playing and drumming. And music was composed: Music that impresses and touches people worldwide to this day. Bruno Preisendörfer takes us into the lives of people in the Baroque era, the time of the great composers Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Händel and Georg Philipp Telemann. We dive into the everyday life of the people, learn about their joys and vices. Even the latest fashions and inventions of the time are not neglected: roasted songbirds for dinner, flower bulbs as objects of speculation, tobacco for the men, coffee for the women, dancing, beer and snuff for everyone. And music is always playing.
