Forensic scientists recently used the bronze cast of a skull to create an image of the face of a certain composer.

  • Not every day you get to hear Brandenburg No.5 played with a piano!

  • Good point. And it's Rudolf Serkin at the piano, with Casals conducting!

  • I instantly recognized this as the face I've seen in portraits of J.S Bach, but I have to wonder to what extent the forensic scientists relied on these portraits -to what extent the result may have been a self fulfilling prophecy.

  • I love J.S.Bach! <3
