Celebrate the birth of J. S. Bach with violinist Rachel Barton Pine, whose latest release is of Bach sonatas and partitas. "Studying them is a never-ending pleasure," she tells me of her first musical love. "You don't need to bring a book of Sudoku puzzles with you on an airplane. You can just look at your Bach score for a while and try to figure out what he was doing there." Hear my exclusive interview plus music from the new recording on Monday's program from 11 to noon on KUAF and 6 - 7 p.m. on KUAF-2.
