Sir John Eliot Gardiner conducts the Monteverdi Choir and the
English Baroque Soloists in his reinterpretation of Bach's
Christmas Oratorio, recorded in December 1999 at the Wiemar Herder
Church. The performance features soprano Claron McFadden, alto
Bernarda Fink, tenor Christoph Genz and bass Dietrich Henschel.
Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the most unfathomable composers in
the history of music. How can such sublime work have been produced
by a man who seems so ordinary, so opaque - and occasionally so
intemperate? In this remarkable book, John Eliot Gardiner distils
the fruits of a lifetime's immersion as one of Bach's greatest
living interpreters. Explaining in wonderful detail how Bach worked
and how his music achieves its effects, he also takes us as deeply
into Bach's works and mind as perhaps words can. The result is a
unique book about one of the greatest of all creative artists.
