The only knock against Bach and it is completely hypothetical. He composed for roughly 40 years. Mozart composed for 20. If you could switch that would you? And would it have made that much difference in our appreciation of Bach?
I just had my left knee replaced last week so strong doses of narcotics, sleep, music, and reading. Gould's biography "Wondrous Strange" while listening to his Bach interpretations. There are times where I expected the next note to stop The Universe spinning and the doors to heaven to open.
Apart from clearthinking's personal favorite could we provide short examples of your champion's works? Drill down to 3-8 minute segments that illustrate their genius and inspiration. (Brahms appears in need of an overhaul, another separate thread perhaps?)
