When I was a kid, a good Saturday afternoon was one spent watching “Creature Double Feature.” Now that the horrors are real, we may as well enjoy legendary harpsichordist Gustav Leonhardt, in a very silly wig. Leonhardt plays Johann Sebastian Bach – on this, Bach’s birthday – in “The Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach” (1968). The music is performed by Concentus Musicus Wien. Watch also for contributions by Bob van Asperen, Bernd Weikl, and Nikolaus Harnoncourt. Running time: 1 hour 32 minutes.
