Book Reviews of Hearing Bach's Passions
Book Review: A Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. As a bit of a Bach-o-phile I eagerly waited for the amazon delivery. I'm a musician and I loved how Melamed worked backwards from the Orchestral parts to "discover" what may have been indeed written by JSB or just an attribution. I think any one who's ever been in a high-school band or orchestra, and has had to deal with missing parts or badly copied parts will really get this book. It's very similar in scholarly style to
Ron Rosenbaums masterful, The Shakespeare Wars. The two authors are wonderful literary/musical scholars. Thanks.
