The film was shot in 1967 and is the most outstanding film about the great musician Bach to date. The title is derived from the novel of the same name by a British author. The dialogues and letters quoted in the film are all taken from Bach's real documents and archives during his lifetime. The film almost brought together the elites of the music performance circle at that time, such as Hanon Court and August Winchinger, and has very high historical value. Unlike the plump and sturdy Bach we usually see in portraits, the Bach played by the renowned pianist and conductor Gustav Leonha appears thin and weak. After its release, the film was highly praised by the film critics at that time.[Collapse]
