Now we know what JS looked like, according to researchers who have reconstructed his appearance using the latest computer technology. That at least is what we are led to believe by this report in the Guardian.
Using medical files, a death mask and the latest technology, scientists have created the ‘true face’ of the great composer. Kate Connolly catches up with the father of fugue in Berlin.
But the Guardian doesn’t show it. You have to go here to see it. I don’t like it. I like the standard old portrait better. The new image makes him look like a serial killer or lawyer. 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other I suppose.

That’s no musician. That’s an old rugby player. Thick neck, bashed ears, squashed nose. Fat face from too much McDonalds. The hair cut doesn’t fit the century and neither does the bare neck. It’s horrid and fierce and I don’t believe it for a second.
..meatloaf, that is
I mean ‘a bat out of hell’
I am expecting this next, “Mr. Bach, I’m Chris Hanson from dateline NBC…”
That man did not write the Brandenburg Concertos. By the way, is there any piece of music more gorgeous than that?
Drew, that’s funny! And yes, many of Mozart’s and Michael Haydn’s. But Bach is still up in the top 5!
Bach IS a serial killer. he kills a little bit of me every day.
when are you gonna lighten up to the romantics, impressionists, and the 20th century folks? sheesh.
