This review is from: Bach: Everyman's Library-EMI Classics Music Companions (Hardcover)

This is a lovely little pack of information and music on Johann Sebastian Bach. The book is clear, concise and interesting and offers a detailed but not too demanding biography of a wonderful composer. The accompanying CD's (3) offer excellent examples of Bach's works and at the back of the book the author provides details of each piece of music choosen on the CD along with details for further reading. If you wanted one book to give you some insight into the life of Bach and his works I could not recommend anything better. I must state that I am no expert on this subject and this is the first book I have read on Bach but like I said it's a great way to start!
