This CD was recorded in Kotka (Finland) on the organ used during the famous Kotka International Organ Competition, and detailed organ information is available in the booklet. It was recorded with the unique ULSI recording system.
Although it is be almost impossible to believe from the lofty position J S Bach occupies in the pantheon of the great composers, during his lifetime he was best known as one of the very greatest virtuosos and improvisers on the harpsichord and organ. He produced works of unrivalled contrapuntal art.
Bach’s transcriptions demand an absolute technical mastery of an order unprecedented at the time. What fun he must have had making these arrangements - a welcome change from the day to day duties that kept him from travelling.
