Sobre el Gran Maestro.

"And that's one of the distinctive marks of Bach and what distinguishes him from... say Mozart, who in his operas conveys the whole range of human emotions, of the human situation, both in its absurdity and in its elevated state. Or what distinguishes him from Beethoven, whose music tells a lot about Beethoven, a lot about what it is to be Beethoven, what it is to feel intensely, and to take on the Universe and to be strugling with the Universe and to grapple with all those elemental forces. Bach does it much more straightforward: he tells what the Universe is really like. He tells us what is like be a human being as part of the Universe, and he tells us how aspirations to a God and to a life beyond."

(Sir John Eliot Gardiner)
