Paul Elie: Reinventing Bach

Award-winning author Paul Elie presents Reinventing Bach, KBAQ 89.5FM's "Book Notes" book club pick for October.

Elie tells how musicians have restored Bach as a universally revered composer and revolutionized the ways that music figures in our lives. Two centuries after the eighteenth-century composer's death, musicians have taken advantage of breakthroughs in audio and digital recording to broadcast Bach's music beyond the church and concert hall, make it the sound of Hollywood in Fantasia, and return his concertos and cello suites to modern audiences.
