Reinventing Bach at ALOUD at the Libray

On Tuesday night at the central library, Paul Elie gave a lecture about his new book "Reinventing Bach."  Violinist Ga Hyun Cho played several of Bach's works including a Chaconne which he wrote while grieving over the death of his first wife, Maria Barbara.

Elie talked about how Bach's works have been used and enjoyed over the last 300 years.  These include some of the music in the Disney movie "Fantasia," music in the movie "English Patient," Glen Gould's recording of Goldberg's Variations, Beatles "In My Life" and "Penny Lane" and YoYoMa recording with Bobby McFerrin "Air From Orchestral Suite No. 3"
