Johann Sebastian Bach - Organ Works

Johann Sebastian Bach - Orgelwerke (Organ Works)

Helmut Walcha is regarded as an authority on Bach interpretation - no other organist since the invention of the record has had such a lasting impact with his Bach playing. Always with a reputation for a certain sobriety and austerity, Walcha contrasts in a fascinating way with his colorful and surprising registrations on the monumental organ by Arp Schnitger. Walcha's interpretative realization is legendary; it is not only the first ever recording on historical instruments, but is itself a highlight in the history of recording.
