An Outstanding Biography of Bach - By: , 16 Nov 1998
Bach scholarship was turned upside down in the 1950s by the acceptance of new scholarship by Alfred Durr & Georg Dadelsen which established a new chronology & authenticity for Bach's music. It took about 30 years for Bach biography to catch up & digest the implications of the new discoveries. Bach biographies published before 1960 are frequently inaccurate in many details, & this include Spitta's famous 3 volume study. Of the recent books on Bach, Professor Boyd's book is one of the very best & the place for anyone with an interest in Bach to start their exploration of his life & work.
