Product Description
Nicholas Anderson, BBC Music Magazine
"this is a learned and satisfying account of Bach's work, temperament and milieu which will disappoint neither specialist nor general music lover."
Review
eminently readable, at times even colloquial. Wolff is one of the foremost Bach scholars today, and his comprehensive knowledge of the source materials equips him admirably to write such a book ... all sorts of interesting details emerge. (John Kitchen, Early Music Today, Oct.-Nov. 2000 )
Drawing on a lifetime's involvement with Bach's music, Professor Wolff has written what is undoubtedly the most authorative and up-to-date survey of the composer's life and works in English, and probably in any language. (Malcolm Boyd, The Gramophone )
Musical biographies don't come much better than this ... no-one seriously interested in Bach should pass it by. (Bettina Neumann, Piano, July-Aug 2000 )
