Let's restart another thread from the previous board: movies, documentaries, musicals, etc - what have you been watching?
I'll start with this documentary I found on YouTube (StLukes, you may also enjoy this):
Now hear this - The riddle of Bach
Scott Yoo goes to Germany to learn Bach’s sonatas and partitas, widely considered among the greatest works ever written for solo violin. There, he discovers a riddle Bach left behind in his portrait. In trying to solve it, Scott discovers that Bach based his melodic style on Vivaldi and his rhythms on the music of the French court, which leads to a spectacular finale in Paris.
The whole thing is done in fairly light-hearted manner, and you get to see a great deal of fun, spontaneous music-making.
