An Eye For Movement

German band VOYAGER IV is a relatively new formation, officially active since 2018 or thereabouts, but consisting of experienced musicians with some fairly impressive resumes. "Pictures at an Exhibition" is their debut albums, and is set to be released at the start of November 2019…

When one thinks of the most iconic German musician of the Baroque era, the obvious name that comes to mind is that of Johann Sebastian Bach. During their lifetimes, however, Bach was decidedly less famous and appreciated than his contemporary Georg Philipp Telemann. Whilst Bach had been almost predestined to the musician’s career, as he was but one of the numerous musicians of his family (to the point that “Bach” had become a synonymous for “musician”), Telemann had had another path traced for him. He was encouraged to study law, and at first did obey his family’s orders. Soon, however, it became clear that nothing except music could satisfy his genius and his talent.
