Trade Review
"Martin Geck is a committed and erudite scholar, and his Johann Sebastian Bach is a consummation of much of his own life and work. It adds original scholarship to an exhaustive survey of other studies of Bach. And although it is often dense with information, it is just as often entertaining: rich in anecdotes and scintillating in its conjectures." -New York Times "Johann Sebastian Bach is brilliantly all-encompassing on the music and on the place of Bach in the musical pantheon, both in his own time and in the present." -Publishers Weekly"
