- Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565
[9:28] (A=465)
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, slowed down here for the spacious acoustics.
