Has it struck you that the music which is regarded as the most sublime in western civilization, which is the music of Bach, is called baroque?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like classical music of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and I adore Bach above all.
I see it as my job to try to keep Bach in the mainstream and present his music with, rather than without, its emotional core.
Borne out of this, starting around the 17th Century was the Baroque era. It is my view that it is one of the architectural peak periods in western civilisation.
I have to tell you that J.S. Bach was easily the greatest musical innovator in the history of the world. He was so advanced for his time. There's a spiritual depth to his music. You can listen to it and it's like meditation.
I think Bach is equally a romantic composer because he laid the seeds harmonically for people like Chopin and the great Romantics, Brahms, so it's difficult to you know all this like labelling and putting - I think Bach is attractive to musicians because he supersedes the labels.
Classical, Romantic, and Baroque music, that's what I really like.
I used to love Bach.
Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over.
I do not think that music keeps evolving. It evolved through Bach; since then, in my humble opinion, all the innovations added nothing.
Probably the most reliable comfort music for me over the years has been Bach.
