Sinopsis
This challenging 2003 biography asks many questions. What was Bach like as a young man, as a father, as an ageing church servant? How did he compose and perform so much music? And has our understanding of him been hindered by the deference displayed towards him since his death?

Críticas
'Williams is thoroughly honest, and honestly thorough, in sifting through the facts, assessing their robustness, and setting them in the context ... of Bach's actual music, and equally important, the traditions and philosophies of eighteenth-century Lutheran Germany - warts and all ... In its rationality and calm authority, Williams' biography lays to rest much of the confusion relating to the pieces in one of musical history's most frustrating incomplete jigsaws.' The Scotsman
'This is a rich yet unassuming book for which we should long be grateful.' Musical Times
'... as well rounded and full a life of the composer as we shall probably ever have.' Contemporary Review
'... Professor Williams may shatter a few illusions, he will certainly make you think and he brings a refreshingly novel appraoch to the telling of Bach's lifestory ... A thoroughly good read.' London Bach Society
'... a book which is both informative and entertaining. Do not be fooled by its relative brevity: this is, in many ways, a revelatory book, and should be on the bookshelves of every inquisitive musician.' Organists Review
'As a companion to his musicological studies of Bach's organ works reviewed above, the disciples of Peter Williams will find his new biography of the composer required reading ... his insights are illuminating.' Classical Music
'... stimulating book ...' Early Music Review
Biografía del autor
Peter Williams (1937–2016) was an internationally renowned Bach scholar and performer. He held the first Chair in Performance Practice in Britain at the University of Edinburgh, where he was Director of the Russell Collection of Harpsichords and latterly Dean of Music. He was also the first Arts and Sciences Distinguished Chair at Duke University, North Carolina. He was the author of many books, including A New History of the Organ (1980), The Organ Music of J. S. Bach (3 volumes, Cambridge, 1981–1984), Bach, Handel, Scarlatti 1685–1985 (Cambridge, 1985) and Bach: The Goldberg Variations (Cambridge, 2001).
