Book Reviews of Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician
Book Review: Affectionate account of the man and his phenomenal genius
Summary: 5 Stars
Wolff's book about J.S.Bach must surely be one of the most comprehensive biographies of the composer to date. The chapters dealing with his childhood and early musical years are particularly illuminating. Heavy going at times, with the odd Americanism here and there, but this is entirely forgiveable. Bach fan or Bach scholar (or both!), this is a must-read.
