4.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to Bach for kids
This is a good video to introduce younger students to Bach. The actors help tell the major details of Bach's life without being too dry. I especially like that it shows both instrumental and vocal performances of Bach's music. All of the music in the video is Bach (major plus) and the explanation and example of fugue is easy for kids to grasp.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother!
This is not a good video. It's very stilted with poor accents and bad acting. The cutaway scenes to the performaces are not at all appealing to the age level this video is attempting to reach. Not nearly the same quality as Beethoven Lives Upstairs, which is a true classic.

Awful, awful production! Against Beethoven Lives Upstairs, I had expected another childrens' masterfilm. This, however, was a low-budget, poorly acted reproduction (nearly word-for-word) of the audtio CD, which is infinitely better.

Don't waste time or money.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK DVD, December 8, 2010
This review is from: Classical Kids: Mr. Bach Comes to Call (DVD)
I'm glad to have an almost age appropriate DVD for my students, but I own DVD's on other composers that are more interesting to watch. Maybe Grades K-3 would enjoy it more than my 5th graders.
