Description

Jörg Handstein's audio biographies are so successful because they always combine an exciting narrative style based on historical documents with dialogues and numerous musical examples. The result is a vivid portrait that always introduces the human being behind the musician and the work. The latest edition focuses on the life story of Johann Sebastian Bach. Narrator Udo Wachtveitl recounts Bach's eventful, tragic, and equally gripping life story, from childhood to death. Albrecht Schuch, a native of Jena, gives Bach an authentic inflection in the dramatized scenes, without resorting to clichés.
