Innovative filmmaker Patricia Rozema combines beautiful images of Yo-Yo Ma's performance with magnificent skating sequence of Torvill and Dean, interwoven with J. S. Bach's first person narrative. By doing so, she is able to investigate Bach's personal and professional history while linking his life and music to our modern world--container."@en
