Price: $13.00

Customer Review:
2 1/2 stars.
I have a strict rule about reading books -- if I start it, I finish it and I read three books per week on the average and have done so for many years, all genres.
In this instance, I wanted to read a really intricate biography of J.S. Bach and landed on this one which I... more info

from Children's Press(CT)
Price: $3.07

Customer Review:
This book has both my boys (ages 6 & 4) laughing and singing (there is a made-up ditty about Heinrich the Pizza Man) and wanting to read the whole book repeatedly. The silly illustrations along with actual images make Bach's history understandable and interesting to the very young. Now we're all... more info

Though I've only had time to skim through portions of this book, as a Bach descendent, I find it fascinating!

from Cambridge University Press
Price: $20.55

Customer Review:
Bach is my religion, and I am an adult beginner piano student, with roughly four years of classical piano lessons under my belt. Those two facts color my opinion of this biography and of other Bach biographies I have read, namely those by Christoph Wolff and Martin Geck. I do like the Peter Williams... more info

Customer Review:
J. S. Bach would have been astounded by the amount of materialwritten on him since his death 250 years ago. And as the number ofbooks and articles on his life and works passes the 15,000 mark it becomes increasingly difficult to discover from among this morass the truly rewarding and insightful... more info

Customer Review:
Superb study focusing on interpretation/performance of the works of the three named composers. Familiarity with the works discussed, and some knowledge of music notation, will be helpful - having records, CDs, or DVDs of Harnoncourt's performances of course adds an extra dimension. Highly... more info

from Cambridge University Press
Price: $25.25

Customer Review:
The life of Johann Sebastian Bach - straddling two centuries and placing an indelible mark on the development of symphonic music - is a complex and multifaceted saga, but Professor John Butt and his talented crew of co-authors get straight to the bottom of it. Bach grew up at the tail end of the... more info
