The Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach

Details

Summaries

The life and music of Johann Sebastian Bach as presented by his wife, Anna.

A chronicle of Johann Sebastian Bach's life, eschewing drama to focus almost entirely on his music. Narrated by his wife Anna in voiceover, it consists largely of static scenes of Bach conducting and/or playing his brilliant compositions.—Mike D'Angelo <[email protected]>
