One of the towering figures in Western culture, J.S. Bach is the foundation of Classical music, whose influence has permeated the work of virtually all his successors. Whether sacred or secular, vocal or instrumental, his encyclopedic survey of virtually all musical genres set an unsurpassable standard of excellence. Videos and recordings of his work are presented, along with analysis and biographical data, bringing the sublime creator and the very human figure to life.
