Product Description

Amazon.com
W.F. was Bach's oldest son, and musical history hasn't been kind to him for a number of reasons. Apparently he had a drinking problem or some other behavioral difficulty, since he seemed to have trouble keeping a job. When his father died, he received a third of his music manuscripts and proceeded to sell or pawn them, which is why so many of Bach's cantatas and other works are lost. As a composer his music obviously shows something of his father's influence, and possibly that of alcohol--and many great musicians have been alcoholics. Well, his music is certainly interesting, and these are fine performances. Give them a whirl. --David Hurwitz
