BACH: Method & Obsessive Compositional Syndrome
Bach is often seen as the most ordered and systematic of composers, yet for many in his own time he simply
went too far, pushing compositional methods well beyond standard boundaries in a way that might have
seemed like madness to many.
John Butt – Gardiner Professor of Music at the University of Glasgow and musical director of the Dunedin
Consort – examines this side of Bach that, ironically, has given his music such enduring significance for later
generations.
