About

Here, interpreted by André Isoir, are J S Bach’s works for concertante organ, arranged in three programmes, specially compiled from his historic Calliope recordings, which intersperse the cantata sinfonias with obbligato organ, the concertos transcribed after Vivaldi, and the trio sonatas.

La Dolce Volta offers an original approach to this repertory, cultivating through three coherently arranged programmes a new way of listening to pieces that are extremely diverse yet at the same time display close affinities. Here are 15 of Bach’s most important organ works, underlining the unity of a creative philosophy that rises above any specific medium.

The lovingly produced packaging and 80-pp booklet includes organ specifications and photos of André Isoir through the ages.

When you go into a church and see those great metal pipes gleaming in the shadows, and then imagine making all of that work, you really want to be that man yourself. You have to admit that the organ is an instrument you get attached to.” - André Isoir

André Isoir combines technical perfection and profound reflection to give each work the right movement and colour, and hence just the right mood of spirituality.” - International Record Review

La Dolce Volta, a new French classical music label whose outstanding production values include big, bold sound and cerebral liner notes laid out in cerebral, hip typography.”-  Strings Magazine
