The Life of Johann Sebastian Bach (1998)

Hans Conrad Fischer directed this documentary in the early eighties -- prior to the German reunification -- to honor the 200th anniversary of Johann Sebastian Bach's birth in 1985. Unfortunately, the film did not get released for almost fifteen years (hence the participation of Hugh Burden, who died in 1985, and Mark Dignam, who died in 1989). The film focuses on the versatility of Bach's musical compositions and the struggles of his life to find and sustain success. Fischer uses the Baroque-era composer's music, performed by a variety of world-renowned orchestras, as the perfect background for the story behind Bach's great musical works. This video also includes footage of original manuscripts, photographs, and scenic landscapes from Bach's German homeland, including Eisenbach (Bach's birthplace), Weimar, and Leipzig. The motion picture premiered at the Royal Festival Hall in London. Cecilia Cygnar, Rovi Read Less
