- Fantasia and Fugue in G minor, BWV 542
[10:29]
Flashes of mad genius alternate with patches of calm serenity in the Fantasia, giving an idea of what it might have been like to hear the Master
improvise. The fugue has two subjects, a long, cheerful one that modulates through several keys and a more purposeful counter-subject (D-G-F#-G) that
establishes a firm hold on whatever key Bach has migrated to at the time. The Phantom has pulled out all the stops and taken some interpretive
liberties with this one.
