The music which started my obsession with the power of Bach's pioneering work is without doubt his most recognizable organ piece: Tocatta & Fugue in D Minor. The CD that I have prepared contains the full uncut version of the eight Praelude & Fugues played in pipe organ and orchestral strings in alternating order,- Praelude & Fugue 6 in (pipe organ) Praelude & Fugue 5 in (strings) and so on. Although traditionalists may argue that The Well Tempered Clavier II was originally intended for the harpsichord/clavichord,I am a traditionalist on how classical music should be played,-- with feeling and emotion. I have often visualised Bach all alone in a cathederal, standing before a pipe organ portraying his music upon it. I have made every attempt to convey this emotion on this CD and hope that my interpretation of his music befits his inspirational genius. I can truly say that those who appreciate the music of Bach will not be dissapointed.
