4 - The Life of JS Bach pt. 4 - “Old Man Bach, The Twilight of a God”
The Great Composers Podcast - a classical music podcast - A podcast by Kevin Nordstrom
Ep. 4, The Life of JS Bach, "Old Man Bach, The Twilight of a God" brings us to the end of the great man's life and to the beginning of his immortality. As Bach grew to old age, his music slowly faded out of fashion and appreciation for his great musical achievements diminished. Even so, he would continue his work, dedicated as always to spirits greater than his own, and press on towards musical godhood.
