Trade Review
"If Wolff's first book, could be described in its simplest terms as "Bach in his world ', his second is "Bach in eternity"." -- Lindsay Kemp - Gramophone
"…a very welcome and scholarly complement to the earlier biography that focuses more intensely on the music itself, the thought and compositional processes that created it… As we have come to expect from Professor Wolff, the book is meticulously prepared, supported by numerous tables, footnotes, and extensive bibliography. Readers will be particularly drawn to the detailed chronology, clearly set out for easy reference and fascinating reading in itself." -- Margaret Steinitz - Journal of the London Bach Society
