Bach and Friends is a documentary project The David Nathan Meyerson Foundation helped support. The film was recently released on DVD and the initial reviews are outstanding.
Jan Herman wrote a review for the Huffington Post. He said: “Bach on the organ? Of course. On the piano? Certainly. On the cello? Naturally. On the violin? Sure. But Bach on the banjo? The ukelele? The mandolin? How about the glass harp? Or the clarinet, the guitar, and the double bass. And let’s not forget a cappella. You hear them all — brilliantly filmed and recorded — courtesy of BACH & friends, a gorgeous two-hour documentary by Michael R. Lawrence.”
In the Baltimore Sun, Tim Smith writes “…Lawrence has achieved so much in his film. By vibrantly exploring and celebrating Bach’s hold on today’s musicians, “Bach & Friends” makes it clear why the composer will continue to exert just as strong a hold for generations to come.”
