Note: this release was originally purchased as a LP, later replaced by a CD. My edition is the 2005 re-release.
An hour's worth of Bach compositions - most originally written for vocalists - transcribed for organ and brass quintet. Quintessential works, expertly arranged, beautifully performed. What's not to like?
Album chart peaks:
- Billboard Top Classical: #19
- Billboard Classical CD: #27
Tracks: Includes many of what might be considered "Bach's greatest hits"
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: I associate this album with another record I owned back in the '80s - Brass in Berlin by The Canadian Brass & The Berlin Philharmonic Brass. I listened to both quite a bit while pursuing a music degree. I wasn't a very good trumpet player, but that didn't stop me from giving it the old college try (literally).
