Reinventing Bach by Paul Elie
In Reinventing Bach, Paul Elie weaves a spell binding and polyphonic account of our greatest composer's life and work and how it drove the audio revolution of the past century and how that very revolution bought Bach many new listeners.
'A stimulating and enjoyable account of how and what we hear when we listen to this great composer' -- Hilary Mantel 'An appreciation of Bach that is both impassioned and subtle' Daily Telegraph 'Elie is an acute and passionate listener, writing sensitively about music's impact on him.' -- Susan Tomes Independent 'Absorbing and cleverly written.' -- Richard Osborne The Oldie 'Absorbing, beautifully written book.'
