For the last 27 years of his life he was a schoolteacher and choir director whose duties extended to meal supervision and dormitory inspection. Yet throughout his career he composed a vast body of music, which is amongst the most joyful, dancing and enrapturing ever written. This portrait-in-sound includes many examples of the music that made him immortal.With compelling narration by Jeremy Siepmann, character portrayals by acclaimed actors, and the interpolation of over 25 substantial musical extracts reflecting the development of one of music's most enduringly awe-inspiring composers, we are transported back three centuries straight into the life of Johann Sebastian Bach. This innovative sense of immediacy is at the heart of this comprehensive audio-biography, depicting the life of a composer whose music is universally admired. 610 $aBach, johann sebastian, 1685-1750 610 $aMusic 610 $aBiography & autobiography 610 $aBiography 702 $aSiepmann$b Jeremy$4oth 702 $aShrapnel$b John$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910150290203321 996 $aJohann Sebastian Bach$9153956 997 $aUNINA
