Bach: Music in the Castle of Heaven

This is a book which was a journey for me. It took me ages to finish, reading it on and off for 7 months. I’ve been in awe of J.S. Bach’s compositions for as long as I can remember. In this book, Gardiner manages to paint a picture of the man, the husband, the father, the teacher, the musician, the composer, the human Bach. With his shortcomings and his talent, his devotion and obsessions. Highly recommended, but at least basic knowledge about musical theory is necessary to understand this book.

"This is a very nice book, but I can only read it in short bursts. It'll take a while before I'll finish it."
