{"product_id":"cardi-emanuele-the-bach-circle-5028421956497","title":"The Bach Circle","description":"This is Emanuele Cardis fourth album for Brilliant Classics after recordings which display this talented organists wide musical sympathies and talents. He is a great connoisseur of Baroque repertoire, noted the Spanish magazine Codalario of Cardis Neapolitan album, and it shows in his ability to give these pieces such native color: this is a remarkable album. On this occasion he has recorded an album which concludes with Bachs most famous yet possibly most spurious work for organ, the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, whose Italianate flourishes surely have their origin in a work for violin, whether or not by Bach himself. In fact an aesthetic conversation between Italy and Germany underlies the character of the album as a whole. Kittel, Krebs and Vogler were pupils of J.S. in Leipzig, and their work featured here is indebted to a greater or lesser extent to the example of their master; whereas his most talented son, C.P.E., struck out boldly in new directions of harmony and voicing, as demonstrated here by a C minor Fantasy and Fugue and the substantial A minor Sonata. The cousin of Pachelbel, Walther, like Bach, made many transcriptions for organ of concertos by Vivaldi and his contemporaries such as Corelli and Torelli. Walthers own concerto is a scintillating piece of dancing counterpoint in that tradition, marking quite a contrast to the chorale-based music of Bachs pupils in the first half of the album.","brand":"Edel Germany GmbH \/ Hamburg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53582661583190,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_5028421956497_1.jpg?v=1778456132","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/cardi-emanuele-the-bach-circle-5028421956497","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
