Gardiner asserts twice that we have scant knowledge of the "specifics" of Bach's life. Yet he then details many of the relevant facts about Bach's lineage, the influence of Martin Luther, his earliest teachers, and even his "poor attendance" in school in one year while a child in Eisenach. Evidence is "thick on the ground" again, a Gardiner phrase in this excellent account. The beauty of this video is in the excellent recording, the quality of the photography, and the glimpse of artists at work making the music of Bach come alive.
I admire Eliot Gardiner enormously, however the psychologists brought in to explain Bach's "personality flaws" were a bit silly to me Much appreciated are the descriptions, and played examples, of the St. Here is where JEG excels. In all, I love this video documentary and highly recommend it to musicians and students of music. Visit Prime Video to explore more titles.

The Circle [of faith] will not turn if one spoke is broken or missing. We cannot skip accountability and still say we are disciples of Christ. It is that simple. Once you have a plan and an accountable relationship , the natural next step is action. Faith comes to the surface and produces action. Faith cannot be contained.
Thoughts and intents that we hold within and do not act on are not faith, no matter what we might like to think. But that's a self-contradicting statement.
Faith is always acted out, never kept bottled up. They may be serving on half a dozen committees or ministry teams, but they don't have the In relationships that go beyond the boundaries of the work the committee does together.

Churches sometimes do very well within the Up dimension--worshiping God together--and the Out dimension--serving the community around them, but not so well with the In dimension. People feel this lack of balance and move on in search of intimacy. The community of God should be the place they found it. Jul 04, 2hoots rated it really liked it.

A great framework for discipleship. I look forward to reading the rest of his books to fill in the blanks.

Apr 12, linhtalinhtinh rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Reading about Raphael is such a refreshing experience. Unlike the "tormented" Michelangelo, the frustrated Leonardo, or the mad Vincent, Raphael's story brings contentment, happiness. I hardly detect any hatred, not much arrogance in the artist, and observe quite a lot of shrewdness and resourcefulness, as well as, of course, ingenuity.
His works, certainly, radiate light and grace. Forcellino, in his introduction, gives readers an impression of a Raphael that is not a spiritual version usually e Reading about Raphael is such a refreshing experience. Forcellino, in his introduction, gives readers an impression of a Raphael that is not a spiritual version usually evoked by traditional art critics, but rather a sensual and erotic artist.
What Forcellino offers is thorough discussion of Raphael's works to reveal this sensuality. I'm impressed with the author's profound knowledge of painting and architecture techniques of the time, which are often taken for granted, but in fact play an enormous role in deciding the fate, the style, the finish of the artwork. Forcellino also pulls the whole cultural and political life of the late 15th early 16th century of every city that Raphael lived.
This is indeed the very strength of the book, as readers feel so much comfortable and relaxing reading about this duke, that cardinal, those bankers, etc. His storytelling skill is quite remarkable, while his explanation is very readable. Non solo una biografia su Raffaello che, per quanto Forcellino cerchi di contestualizzarla, rimane piena di buchi , ma uno spaccato della vita rinascimentale con focus sugli artisti e le botteghe. Molto bella la parte in cui si parla anche di Leonardo. Mi fa un po' impressione immaginare questi due grandi pittori, questi geni dell'arte e dell'architettura e dell'ingegneria per quanto riguarda Leonardo incontrarsi ad un certo punto della loro vita, uno nel pieno della giovinezza, acerbo pittore Non solo una biografia su Raffaello che, per quanto Forcellino cerchi di contestualizzarla, rimane piena di buchi , ma uno spaccato della vita rinascimentale con focus sugli artisti e le botteghe.
Mi fa impressione, dicevo, pensarli come due persone normali che si sono incontrate quasi per caso secoli e secoli fa, senza sapere pressapoco nulla l'uno dell'altro, inconsci dell'impronta che hanno lasciato nella storia.
Sep 08, Lynn rated it really liked it Shelves: A Passionate Life is a book that holds a religious reverence for its subject and is not very in depth looking at his life. Raphael was revered in his lifetime and overlooked in later years for Leonardo Di Vinci and Michelangelo.
I've always loved his art and am glad he is now given more attention. Raphael lived in dangerous times and his life in Rome could be hazardous. He lived in the times of the Borgias and De Medicis. Italian duchies were at war with each other and France desired Na Raphael: Italian duchies were at war with each other and France desired Naples, etc. He took over his father's art studio at age 11 and died at 37 to the grief of the Roman people.
