Book Synopsis

The music of J.S.Bach has a unique power and attraction some 300 years after it was written. From annual performances of the great Passions and BBC Radio 3''s hugely successful Bach Christmas, to its use in adverts, films and popular arrangements, the imaginative strength of Bach''s music continues to draw listeners to explore its mysteries.

This new Pocket Guide looks at all Bach''s music, sacred and secular, and explores why he speaks so profoundly to our age about both the spiritual and the sensual in life.

Among the features of this easy-to-use book:
The Bach Top Ten
Bach: The music work by work
Performing Bach today
Bach: The life year by year
What people said about Bach
