This note in summary form for the moment, 'cos I'm still in the midst of reading:
this is contemporary thought, far-reaching, thought-provoking.
The book lives up to the promise of the title, being far more than yet another introduction (of varying degrees of subtlety and insight) to the Bach passions; this book concentrates on positioning them in the history of ideas.
