“James Crooks finds and creates ways for understanding the immensity of Bach's compositional achievement, most significantly in the Mass in B Minor, specifically as experienced in the act of performance (for both listener and performer). Readers will find this book refreshing for the sheer enthusiasm of the author, an antidote to the tendency to relativize achievements in canonic works of art.” John Butt, University of Glasgow
