It really depends. Whether you want to be entertained. Or whether you want it to be as authentic as possible.

He is, without a doubt, the most knowledgeable Bach scholar between the famous Harvard University in the U.S. and the University of Leipzig. Fascinating: He wrote his biography about Bach in English. It was then translated into German ... even though Wolff’s native language is German. Hats off to him!..
