Six Sonates Pour Orgue BWV 525-530

Description

In the six sonatas for organ by Johann Sebastian Bach, three independent voices sound interchangeably. The right hand plays the highest voice, the left hand the middle voice, and the feet the bass. A true musician wants to play each voice as if it were the first time, responding spontaneously to what the others evoke. To bring such a sung conversation to life with hands and feet, he listens with the same attention and as much love to all the voices simultaneously. It is a miracle that this can be done. When it succeeds, everything seems simple and natural. A world opens up to the listener, in which it is hardly imaginable that there could be anything more beautiful than a trio sonata by Bach.
