Hachidai Saito and Alexander Puliaev perform "UNA FESTA BAROCCA" - J. S. Bach and his contemporaries

Baroque music is a style characterized by ornate ornamentation, powerful dynamics, ornate embellishments and monumental expression. Alongside Johann Sebastian Bach, it was influenced by such renowned composers as Antonio Vivaldi, Georg Friedrich Händel and Georg Philip Telemann. Today, Bach's music is regarded as the pinnacle and perfection of Baroque music, creating a unique musical language with its emotionality and dynamics.
