5 out of 5 stars great instrument for promoting interest in children from a Juilliard graduate.......2006-10-19

Our daughter loves to watch this video because it keeps her involved with a good story and gets the style of Bach's music into her ears. She now knows who Bach is and enjoys listening to his music outside of what's in this video. The point of these DVDs are to create curiosity, develop love of music, art and science while familiarizing children to important musicians, artists and scienctists. This way, children will not be intimidated by classical music, wonderful art, possibly get inspired to become more involved in science and innovations. We wish there are more!

4 out of 5 stars I watched it in choir.......2006-10-03

My choir and I watched this movie and I thought it was preaty good, being a composer movie an all.

1 out of 5 stars Not the Bach I have come to know and love........2006-06-03

"Live life with passion" is the theme of this Bach biopic from Sony. The music and scenery are tremendous, yet some music is played at a time (1717-1719) before it was really composed. The serious student of Bach knows his life was driven by faith, doing all things to the glory of God. The "passion" here is nebulous. Some parts are interesting, but the main theme of the film loses the point.
