One of my favorite movies...ever!
Even though it's not really historically accurate, it's a great movie. Love it so much!

great instrument for promoting interest in children from a Juilliard graduate
Our daughter loves to watch this video because it keeps her involved with a good story and gets the style of Bach's music into her ears. She now knows who Bach is and enjoys listening to his music outside of what's in this video. The point of these DVDs are to create curiosity, develop love of music, art and science while familiarizing children to important musicians, artists and scienctists. This way, children will not be intimidated by classical music, wonderful art, possibly get inspired to become more involved in science and innovations. We wish there are more!

Great DVD Series!
As an elementary music teacher I LOVE having this video series. All of the titles are great and are perfect for third, fourth, and fifth grade students. It teaches them about the composer, they hear the composers greatest works, yet incorporating a child about their own age gives them a way to relate to the characters. Bach's Fight for Freedom is one of their favorites.

A Pleasant Surprise
I was prepared to dislike this work after having seen the awful companion pieces, "Beethoven Lives Upstairs," and "Liszt's Rhapsody" (see reviews). In contrast, this work is a pleasant surprise.The scenery (in the Czech Republic) is gorgeous and the photography is superb. The story advances through the eyes of a servant boy in the Duke's palace, a good device for a film aimed at kids. Although there is a lot of "artistic license" with the facts of Bach's life, there is enough music and an interesting enough story to encourage further reading and listening.And what better result, for children especially, could you ask?

Great teaching series for kids as well as production values
Great teaching series for kids as well as production values, I only wish they would do more - Mozart, Stravinsky and Brahms would have been nice additions!
