J.S.BACH: In the rare version of Weimar Manuel Tomadin [CD de audio] Manuel Tomadin and J.S.Bach

Almost no musical genre of his time would not have been deeply influenced and enriched by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750): His cantatas, masses and passions, his instrumental and chamber music, and of course his extensive work for harpsichord and organ are milestones. of the respective genres that have influenced numerous generations of musicians and composers and have served as a model time and time again. Bach's mastery of the organ was known from his young years. This is also reflected in his virtuoso organ compositions. Under the name of the Leipzig Chorales, BWV 651-667, there is usually collected a collection of organ chorale arrangements from two pedal manuals that Bach assembled and edited for publication in the last years of his life. However, he had composed many of these chorales during his tenure in Weimar between 1712 and 1717. The Italian organist Manuel Tomadin, winner of the 2012 European Cities of Historic Organs award ("Young ECHO Organist of the Year"), recorded for this double CD the Leipzig Choirs in their original Weimar versions, which are characterized by their rich French-style embellishments. The album is completed with the Pasticcio Fantasia, Andante and Fugue in G minor, BWV 542 & 583 and the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582. The recordings were made in October 2010 in the church of Sant Antonio Abate in Padua. The booklet includes detailed information (in English and Italian) about the individual works.
