Visionaries asks viewers to debate the merits of ten iconic and innovative
composers that have been responsible for some of the finest creations in the
field of classical music. Presented by the BBC's Francine Stock, this
episode focuses on the Baroque era, pitting Bach against Handel (pictured).
These two composers encapsulate the different natures of human existence,
for where Handel wrote for the people, Bach wrote for God.
