Cuarenta años dan para escribir mucho sobre los Beatles. Los propios autores de este libro reconocen que casi no queda ya nada por decir: todo se ha contado. Y quizá ése sea el problema, que no sólo se ha contado todo, sino que se ha contado muchas veces, en ocasiones con acierto, y en otras con bastante poca fortuna. La acumulacion de datos sobre la historia de los Beatles es soberbia. Que parte de esa informacion sea inexacta es algo que los seguidores de los Fab Four ya tienen asumido. Rectificar todos esos errores es un laborioso trabajo que algunos escritores especializados han comenzado a realizar. En lugar de volver a contarlo todo, lo que hacen es tratar de poner las cosas en su sitio.

La imagen de un compositor tan genial como Johann Sebastian Bach suele prestarse a simplificaciones que pueden ser confusas. Así J. S. Bach ha sido considerado durante demasiado tiempo el músico dedicado de un modo casi exclusivo a la experiencia de lo sagrado. Sin embargo Bach fue tambien algo mas, un hombre que vivio a fondo el espiritu de su tiempo y lo reflejo, cuando su inspiracion por ahi le conducia, hacia lo humoristico y lo burlesco. Teniendo eso en cuenta Domingo del Campo, ilustre musicologo y experto en el mundo bachiano, nos transmite en este libro postumo una imagen rica y plural de la obra de quien ha sido considerado por muchos como el genio mas indiscutible de la historia de la musica.
