Music reviews of Masters Of Classical Music: J.S. Bach

Music Review: A Bach essential recording
Rating: 5 Stars

The Overture No.4 in D major "Réjouissance" directed by H. Winshermann is a magnificent spirit-lifter, played in an appropriate not-so-rushed-up tempo like some other versions I've heard. On track 4, "Jesu, joy of man's desire", Frank Berger's trumpet and Hans-Dieter Weber's organ performance are one of the most stunning ones that have ever reached me. Track 9, Overture No.1 in C major "Passepied" is a feast for the senses; H. Winshermann's direction does it again. I cannot complete this small review without mentioning Hannes Kastner's impressive performance of "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" at the organ. In my opinion, this is so far the definitive ultimate version, lasting 9:20 minutes of impeccable performance.

(Did I mention that this CD was stolen from my "Masters of Classical Music Collection some time ago, and I mourned it until I found it on Amazon?)
