Still from Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach
1967 |
|
This beautiful, lucid account of the last 27 years
of the life of JS Bach, seen through the eyes of his second wife,
is mediated partly through documents but mostly through Bach's own
music performed in original locations and 'used neither as accompaniment
nor as commentary but as aesthetic material in its own right' (Straub).
With Dutch harpsichordist Gustav Leonhardt in the title role.
