4 out of 5 stars Well done and interesting.......2005-02-22

This recording alternates extended selections of Bach's music (complete pieces or movements) with a narrated and sometimes dramatized biography of Bach. The music selections are excellent and the biography itself is well done and interesting. The lengthy accompanying booklet is also very nice.

My only reservation comes from a feeling that the music and the narration are not as well integrated as they could be. The narrator identifies the musical selections and may give a sentence or two of background for the selection but never really discusses it. Instead, the narration is focused almost entirely on the events of Bach's life. I would have preferred more of a "music appreciation" approach that discussed the music, and had trouble getting used to the bifurcated nature of production. The extended free-standing music selections do mean that the four discs are a sort of "best of Bach" anthology and you can re-listen to just the music by skipping every other track.

Naxos also produces a 2-disc set called An Introduction to Bach: Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 4 & 5 (ASIN: B0000666A9), also by Mr. Seipmann, which closely analyzes the actual music of these two concertos. I found that the two sets are complementary with no overlap, except for part of the booklets, and I would recommend getting both if you have an interest in Bach and are also interested in understanding what to listen for in his music. In addition (or as an alternative), I would also recommend the lectures by Robert Greenberg on "Bach and the High Baroque" produced by the Teaching Company, which are much longer, more detailed, and more focused on the "music appreciation" aspect. They are also much more expensive.

Overall, this item is very worthwhile and a good value, like most of Naxos's products.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful biography, needs more proportion in the music.......2002-08-21

Naxos continues to do a wonderful job with its "Life and Works" series. Quite some time ago, we had a Life/Works of Mozart, one of Chopin and then two more, Liszt and Beethoven. he latter are even better packaged than are the earlier sets, with a thick booklet that offers us essays on the historical background, the position of the composer in his time, a look at the major works, a listening plan, recommended readings, personalities, a calendar of the artist's life, a glossary, and a discography. This booklet is worth the price of the set alone.

Now we have two more entries in this amazing series, again written and narrated by Jeremy Siepmann: "Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky" (8.558036-39) with a playing time of 4 hrs. 5 min. and "Johann Sebastian Bach" (8.558051-54) with a playing time of 4 hrs. 34 minutes. (Please see my comments for the Tchaikovsky on that webpage.)

In direct contrast to the tortured personality of Tchaikovsky, we have the life-loving J.S. Bach, he who lost his temper only when he ran up against ineptitude. Again, the biographical details are fascinating. But also again, the musical examples are far too few--especially for this prolific composer--and some are simply far too long. We do not really need a complete rendition of the famous "Toccata and Fugue" and certainly not of the "Prelude and Fugue in A minor" to which is devoted a 13 minute track.

Here the voice of Bach is supplied by actor John Shrapnel, with Trevor Nichols, Ruth Sillers and David Timson in supporting roles. So 5 stars for the biography, somewhat less for musical examples.

5 out of 5 stars THE BACH FAMILY ORGAN WORKS.......2001-06-20

Teldec again has proven itself to be THE BEST CD co. EVER!!!!! I will discuss each peice in detail in order of the programme. Disc 1 #1-Toccata and Fugue in d-Mr. Krumbach has done a superb job at this challenging and contrapuntal work. I read in the 31 pg. booklet that this peice is really a three part work: Toccata, Fugue, and 2nd Toccata. Then follwing peice (904) is a questionable work, not because of authenticity, but instrumentation, some people say it is a harpsichord work, others say it in a manual only or pedal obbligotto work for organ. The 547 is played quite well, but the downfall is that the selection of stops is quite agrivating! The 542 adds alot of suspense to this album! Disc 2-#1 is 1 of the only few surviving works of J. Lorenz (J. Seb.'s first nephew once removed). Phillip Spitta said he was "an able and independent musician (ein tuechtiger und seldstaendiger Musiker zu Tage tritt)" The next two peices by J. Michael (Distant younger uncle of J. C.) was "a capable composer, like his elder brother (War gleich seinem altern Bruder, ein habiler Componist)" J. M.'s peices show that he could create beautiful fantasias or partitas on a simple hymn tune. Next are two questionable works by J.S. The partita is quite nice, but you get a different feeling from this peice, than the famous ones 766-770 (771a). The Capriccio is in honor of Johann Christoph Bach II (Bachii) a joyous peice, might I add. Next are four works by Johann Christoph, (J.S.'s

distant uncle and guardian after the 10 yr. old parent's death.) I enjoy all of these works especially the zymbelstern in #9. Next are 2 works by J. Bernhard (first cousin once removed). The Passacaglia (Chaccone) in B-Dur has a joyous 8 bar theme. The Partita is also quite enoyable. Last is the Fantasie und Fuge in F-Dur by J. Ernst (Bernhard's son). He would aplly himself to music alongside his other studies. He was more of a Lawyer than a Kapellmeister. The work featured here is in the style of Mozart, for example the Fantasia in f-moll K.608 has a fugue inserted in the middle of it (it is about 3-4 min. in to the peice). This CD is a sort of reference disc because you can look up other Bachs and compare the family music. By the way, the price is a steel!
