Review :
'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 Oct/Nov 2000 '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 Nov 2000 '... 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 Nov 2000 '...c harming book. Well worth having.' Flutewise Dec 2000 'This is a pithy and highly readable biography of Bach ... will inform and entertain' Music and Letters Vol 82 No 2 2001 'I would encourage anyone interested in pursuing a greater knowledge of the life of Bach to begin with this text.' 'A worthwhile introduction to the life of JS Bach.' Stringendo April 2003
