Comment:

A couple of things you should know about the great J.S. Bach: first, he was part of an immense dynasty of Bachs (father, brother, sons, uncles) who produced great music for the best part of 200 years. Secondly, while he did not introduce the world to any new musical forms, he refined and developed existing methods into something brilliant and transcendent. By the time of his death in 1750, at age 65, he had composed more than 1,100 works. Here we offer you a comprehensive introduction to his mind-blowing legacy, which should help you plot a course from chorale to concerto, from cantata to Christmas oratorio, in the company of incredible musicians like Angela Hewitt, Glenn Gould and Itzhak Perlman.
