I always find Bach to be an expression of a love of life. There's an enthusiasm that's absolutely contagious.

I used to love Bach.

There is nothing like a Bach fugue to remove me from a discordant moment... only Bach hold up fresh and strong after repeated playing. I can always return to Bach when the other records weary me.

I like classical music of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and I adore Bach above all.

Bach almost persuades me to be a Christian.
