Bach: An Extraordinary Life Reviews

Davitt Moroney's slim volume skilfully packs a great deal of information into its 100-plus pages... Piecing together the fragmentary remarks we have about Bach's character, Moroney vividly brings him to life in five carefully-organised chapters. One appealing feature is the inclusion of diverting contemporary anecdotes about Bach's attitude to food, drink and tobacco - basically he seems to have liked them all. * Early Music Today *
Moroney's prose makes gripping reading, much like a good novel. This book will open your eyes to a side of Bach with which you might not be familiar - a determined, sometimes stubborn, competitive, humorous man, but above all a human-being. * Early Music News *
A short and delightful book...This book is eminently readable and very refreshing. The only complaint is that one wishes it could have been longer. * IPQ *
Charming book. Well worth having. * Flutewise *
