Bach: A Passionate Life - John Eliot Gardnier

"If Monteverdi was the first composer to find musical expression for human passion, and Beethoven, what a terrible struggle it is to be human and aspire to be godlike, Mozart, the kind of music we'd hope to hear in heaven, Bach is the one who bridges the gap. He helps us to hear to voice of God but in human form, ironing out the imperfections of humanity in the perfections of his music."
