Johann Sebastian Bach es uno de los compositores más enigmáticos y complejos de la historia de la música.. Gardiner ha interpretado y estudiado a Bach desde su primera juventud hasta la actualidad, y es hoy uno de sus intérpretes más reconocidos. ( )
La música en el castillo del cielo resulta una obra de múltiples acordes y armonías. Sus más de 900 páginas entremezclan la experiencia personal con la estricta biografía, pero también con la musicología y el análisis pormenorizado de las dos grandes Pasiones, la de san Mateo y la de san Juan, y algunas cantatas. En estas, además, Gardiner aborda el método, la extenuante periodicidad —prácticamente una a la semana durante algunos años— y su cadencia. También en la intrahistoria de esa lucha por la dignidad de la autoría, en la que Bach se empeñó para ser considerado más allá de un simple mayordomo al servicio de príncipes y pudientes.

"An unprecedented book about one of the greatest of all composers, by his greatest modern interpreter. Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the most famously unfathomable composers in the history of music. How can such sublime work have been produced by a man who (when we can discern his personality at all) seems so ordinary, so opaque--and occasionally so intemperate? John Eliot Gardiner grew up passing one of the only two authentic portraits of Bach every morning and evening on the stairs of his parents' house, where it hung for safety during the Second World War. He has been studying and performing Bach ever since, and is now regarded as one of the composer's greatest living interpreters. The fruits of this lifetime's immersion are now distilled in this remarkable book, which explains in wonderful detail how Bach worked, how his music is constructed, how it achieves its effects--and what it can tell us about Bach the man. It is grounded in all the most recent Bach scholarship but moves far beyond it, and takes us as deeply into Bach's works and mind as perhaps words can. This is a unique book about one of the greatest of all creative artists"--
