Music reviews of Bach Transcriptions
Music Review: These transcriptions elevate and enrich Bach's supreme bequeath!
Rating: 5 Stars
If you carefully realize the artistic trajectory of Leopold Stokowski, you will notice his first job was as organist at St. James's Church, Piccadilly. When he was just 25 there were testimonies about his wonderful playing of Bach's D Minor Toccata and Fugue, so having exchanged the organ for the orchestra his impetuous necessity, nevertheless ceased. He knew how to capture the essence of the purest sound.
I just can imagine the profound ardor and incredible enthusiasm generated by Leopold at the moment to persuade the musicians of the New York Philharmonic and members of the NBC Orchestra for gathering them to record.
For most of purists it' s convenient to remark the fact the limitless potentialities did not exist in Bach's Ages. On the other hand, far from withdrawing the listeners from Bach, I rather think these transcriptions allow to approach them; because of the fact the superb genius of Bach sew in its own essence the germen of its expansion. I guess Bach would be glad to know about these transcriptions that enlarge still more the grandness of his immense genius.
And please, remember the crude sentence of Mahler: "Traditionalism is negligence."
