3.0 out of 5 stars
The title is misleading,
By Gerald P. Speckhard (Valparaiso, Indiana USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whole Notes: Johann Sebastian Bach [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A rewarding half hour with J S Bach, but the title is misleading. Bach's years of service as a musical director in the Lutheran churches of Leipzig are not emphasized. What is emphasized, and done very well, is to show Bach's great musicianship in composing the the Brandenburg Concertos (specifically #5). This hardly does justice to the title, "Serving God Through Music", where one would expect illustrative examples of Bach's cantatas as well as excerpts of his St. Matthew and St. John Passions and the Mass in B Minor.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent video for classroom use,
By Kevin Johnson (Greenfield, IA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whole Notes: Johann Sebastian Bach [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video is an excellent resource for use in high school music classrooms. The interviews are insightful and very enthusiastic. The people interviewed make it clear that they love and are in awe of Bach. The length is relatively short (about 30 minutes)--this makes it an excellent choice for use in the classroom. (Topics covered include Brandenburg Concertos, large scale vocal works --passions and masses, and Bach's life)
