...probably prompted as much exaggeration as the notion that he is a dry, abstract musician's musician. Because so much of his work was intended for use in worship, he has traditionally been known as "the fifth evangelist," pealing out a musical gospel from some celestial organ loft. "For me," wrote French organist Charles Marie Widor in 1907, "Bach is the greatest of preachers." Two years ago, three Venetian music lovers wrote to the Vatican weekly Osservatore della Domenica, suggesting that Bach, even though he was a Lutheran, ought to be canonized as a saint...

After studying architecture in Paris, he experimented with abstract expressionist painting and junk sculpture in a Manhattan loft. Then one day he stepped into an elevator that wasn't there, and the fall broke both his legs. In the course of his six-months' hospitalization he meditated and discovered his true bent. Today he first sketches his ideas on paper, next lays out a full-scale...
