5.0 out of 5 stars Without Equal!, June 2, 2006

This review is from: Bach and the Baroque: European Source Materials from the Baroque and Early Classical Periods With Special Emphais on the Music of J.S. Bach (Paperback)

Newman's command of the primary source materials and his rank as an unsurpassed keyboard virtuoso make this book absolutely indispensible for every serious keyboard player. Each page engages the reader with his infectuous enthusiasm, answering essential questions concerning tempo, metre and note groupings with a comfortable and direct writing style which is never dull or pedantic. Newman addresses performance issues on all keyboard instruments, including the piano. Without doubt, the most useful of all books to date on the subject of keyboard performance of Bach's music!

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive & orgasmic experience, April 13, 2002

This review is from: Bach and the Baroque: European Source Materials from the Baroque and Early Classical Periods With Special Emphais on the Music of J.S. Bach (Paperback)

Amazing! Brilliant! Such insights! Newman has once again outdone himself. As if his virtuoso recordings were not enough for the Bach enthusiast here comes the definitive tome on the master himself... from the master himself.
