Most true musicians agree Bach was the principal master.

Certainly he was the master of “busy” music.

But for me lacking in dramatic intensity. I much prefer Beethoven, Brahms and Black Sabbath.

Oh, and Mahler. Can’t forget the last master of the German tradition.

J.S. Bach: The Motets, conducted by Helmuth Rilling (1990)

Beautiful pieces. I'd love to hear Jenny Wong's version.

I enjoy this type of music, more the orchestral parts than the vocals, but I’ve always wanted to be a conductor and be paid large sums of money for waving my arms around.

If I was limited to one word in describing the various composers, I’d say “solemnity” best describes Bach.

Haydn — “precision”
Mozart — “exuberance”
Sebelius — “pride”
Grieg — “mystery”
Handel — “staid”
Wagner — “sweeping”
Beethoven — “majesty”
