Recenzii
A beautifully calibrated novel ... Bach emerges as an intense, flawed, deeply religious man, and through a poignant exploration of grief and love, Runcie brings his glorious music thrillingly to life
A riveting meditation on grief and the possibilities of music
A novel which deserves to last and will surely do so. It is surely James Runcie's masterwork, a novel written with love and understanding
Runcie is brilliant at chronicling Bach's mission to take the messiness of grief and love and turn them into something beautiful and sacred. Even readers as tone-deaf as I am will be enriched by this novel and its glimpse at genius
This wise, refreshing novel takes us to the heart of Bach's life and work. James Runcie's expert imagination makes his picture of Leipzig specific and convincing, and behind the music's echo lies a touching human story. It offers a glimpse into a world more faithful and attentive than our own, but not alien to us: "we listen to music as survivors," the great Cantor says
To conjure him as a man, a writer needs to focus very sharply, and, whether in his bestselling Grantchester stories or award-winning documentaries, Runcie is expert at focus . Warmly, reverently, Runcie bring s alive what it is like to take part, for the very first time, in one of the most extraordinary pieces of music ever written
In this moving and fascinating portrait of a rare moment in musical history, Runcie turns a legend into a real man, compellingly unveiling the intricate connection between passion, grief and the greatest art. Careful research and beautiful writing make this a memorable and rewarding read
The Great Passion is a novel revering the life and work of JS Bach, as told by a young boy soprano in Leipzig
This is historical fiction of the highest order ... intricate and accessible
I loved this book. Runcie's description of the familiar music being rehearsed and performed for the first time is extraordinary
Like the St Matthew Passion, this is a novel filled not just with loss and lamentation but with transcendent joy. Runcie's prose sings. Soli Deo gloria!
Wonderfully imagined
A delightful novel filled with warmth, music, and an obvious love of Bach
Praise for James Runcie: 'Runcie has the gift of the born storyteller
Tremendous: shrewd, compelling and full of insight
A triumph of inspired imagination
It's a warm, tender novel, brimful of emotion and empathy, as the fascinating characters grapple with faith, feelings and fellowship. But it's Runcie's description of the music that is truly marvellous. Intoxicating, insightful and revelatory, he brilliantly tackles the difficult task of using words to capture the intricacies of Bach's fervent work on the beautiful, groundbreaking masterpiece, St Matthew Passion
Runcie ... has a gift for capturing the past
