Organs, Toccatas And Fantasias DVD

This 1990 programme can best be described as a musical journey through Baroque Europe in the company of Johann Sebastian Bach as performed by Marie-Claire Alain. The legendary French organist Marie-Claire Alain plays some of the composer's greatest organ music on the most magnificent and famous organs in Europe. As she plays she also gives a fascinating insight into their history and shares her deep knowledge and passion for these instruments and the genius of Bach. Bach travelled little during his lifetime but director Bruno Monsaingeon extends the geographical scope... of Bach's activities by including organs best suited to his music. The instruments featured here at venues including Haarlem Groningen R''tha and Dresden are ones which Bach himself would have played or which were built to his specifications. [show more]
