Magnificent Bach played to perfection........2005-01-29

Nothing about J. S. Bach's organ pieces were standard fare. Few if any of them were actually written for church services. They were written for himself and for other musicians. They are far to long and chromatic to be useful for service. Bach was often critizised by the church eldars for writing noisy difficult music that was too distracting for their congregations.

You can well understand when listening to this disc indeed. It includes a fair cross sample of much of Bach's music for organ, from transcriptions of Vivaldi, to the fantastic "Great" fugure in g minor which ends this program.

All played wonderfuly by David Higgs, on the organ of the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church in Pennsylvannia. Recorded in stunning sound by Delos. Very recommended if you want to know what Bach's organ music was about, or if you simply want to hear the g minor fugue played about as well as can be it can possibly be played.
