‘Bach: The Great Toccata’ DVD-CD Boxset. (£28.50)

Contents: 1 x DVD, 1 x CD, booklet and digifile

Bach is arguably the greatest of all composers, and certainly the greatest composer who wrote for the organ. His organ music is the heart and soul of the organ’s repertoire. Fugue State Films, together with Daniel Moult, explores the extraordinary Toccata and Fugue in D minor, an instantly recognisable masterpiece that is one of the most popular pieces of music ever written.

This beautifully-produced boxset contains a documentary exploring the fascinating story of BWV 565, plus a full filmed performance (and matching CD recording) of benchmark performances by Daniel Moult of BWV 565, plus the Toccata in C (BWV 566a), the Prelude and Fugue in A minor (BWV 543), the Prelude and Fugue in D major (BWV 532) and the Trio Sonata in G major (BWV 530), all played on two of the finest organs in the world, the Martinikerk in Groningen and the Petruskerk in Leens.
