- Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565
[7:33]
The most famous of Bach's solo organ pieces, the one that begins every organ CD, evokes pictures of madmen flailing an organ (or an orchestra),
without which the complete organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach would certainly be incomplete. Actually, it is a beautifully crafted, stunningly
dramatic statement. A high bandwidth version (320 KBPS, 18MB file) is available here.
Instrument:
Schantz at First Baptist Church of Riverside, California (1966) sampled by Jonathan Orwig
