Bach - Organ Works - Wolfgang Rubsam (Phillips 16 CDs) torrent

Music : Classical : Other quality



Wolfgang Rubsam (Philips 438 170-2; 16-disc box, including Art of the Fugue) offers arguably the finest recording of Bach's music ever made, featuring an exceptional pair of Metzler instruments vividly captured in rich ambience.

Interpretations are always cogent, imaginative, and involved. Rubsam's playing combines the finest aspects of his teachers, Helmut Walcha (discipline and total integrity) and Marie-Claire Alain (subtle nuance and rythmic verve).

In Rubsam's more recent Bach cycle (on the budget-priced Naxos label) you'll enjoy a greater variety of historic and modern instruments, but the artist's interpretations are somewhat more individualistic, even provocative, still arresting if not quite main-stream.



Enjoy and Seed!!
