Thomaskirche, Leipzig

St. Thomas Church in Leipzig is almost a pilgrimage site for musicians. Johann Sebastian Bach served here for 27 years as organist, choir master, composer, etc. Pictures 3, 4 & 5 are all Bach: his organ, his statue and his crypt. The first 2 pictures are of the church: outside and in the nave.
There are more musicians associated with Leipzig. Mozart is known to have played the organ. The last picture is a statue of Felix Mendelssohn who is connected here, as are Richard Wagner and Robert and Clara Schumann.Leggi altro
