New Yorker gives Bach manuscripts to Leipzig

The New York shipping magnate Elias N. Kulukundis has donated most of his lifetime Bach family collection to the Bach Archive in Leipzig.

It includes the autograph score of Johann Christian Bach’s opera Zanaida, letters from Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach to the publisher Breitkopf and to the first Bach biographer Johann Nikolaus Forkel, along with much other Bachiana valued at $10 million.

Heir to a shipping dynasty, Kulukundis studied musicology at Yale before joining the business.
