Bach's Fight for Freedom

Book Description

The chapel organist, Johann Sebastian Bach, is enraged. It's bad enough his boss, Duke Wilhelm, stifles his creativity. Now the bumbling fool has given him a servant he suspects is a spy! But soon, the temperamental composer recognizes a kindred soul in his new 10-year-old assistant, Frederick. For both know too well what's its like not to be able to follow your dream. Set in 1717, Bach's 32nd year, Bach's Fight for Freedom passionately argues that the only master you can serve faithfully is your own heart. 53 minutes.

great instrument for promoting interest in children from a Juilliard graduate.......2006-10-19

Our daughter loves to watch this video because it keeps her involved with a good story and gets the style of Bach's music into her ears. She now knows who Bach is and enjoys listening to his music outside of what's in this video. The point of these DVDs are to create curiosity, develop love of music, art and science while familiarizing children to important musicians, artists and scienctists. This way, children will not be intimidated by classical music, wonderful art, possibly get inspired to become more involved in science and innovations. We wish there are more!

"Live life with passion" is the theme of this Bach biopic from Sony. The music and scenery are tremendous, yet some music is played at a time (1717-1719) before it was really composed. The serious student of Bach knows his life was driven by faith, doing all things to the glory of God. The "passion" here is nebulous. Some parts are interesting, but the main theme of the film loses the point.
