In addition to presenting the earliest commercial recording of the music of Bach, which was made in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1902, Tow also will pick up some dropped stitches by playing recordings that he did not get around to in previous broadcasts, including performances by Irma Rogell (the last Landowska pupil) and Mieczyslaw Horszowski, amoong others.

S. Bach.
