Bach

Michael Maul, the internationally renowned Bach researcher and director of the Leipzig Bach Festival, presents his first Bach biography in a special format. In 140 episodes, each illustrated with full-page images, he reflects on Bach's life. With sensitivity and inspiration, he recounts the tumultuous life story of that incomparable composer, who, according to Beethoven, should actually be called "Ocean." Based on an intimate knowledge of Bach's work and life, Maul addresses a broad audience that he hopes to ignite with his enthusiasm for the greatest Thomaskantor of all time and ultimately encourage them to listen to the music. The volume will be published in both German and English.
