The Chronicles of Anna Magdalena Bach

The film was shot in 1967. It is the best film about the great musician Bach so far. The title of the film comes from the British writer's novel of the same name. The dialogues and letters cited in the film are all taken from the real documents and archives of Bach during his lifetime. The film brings together almost all the elites in music performance at that time, such as Harnoncourt, August Wenchinger, etc., and has very high historical value. Completely different from the fat and strong Bach we usually see in portraits, the Bach played by the famous pianist and conductor Gustav Leonhard appears thin and frail. After the film came out, it was highly praised by the film critics at that time.
