Johann Sebastian Bach: Arrangements & Transcriptions (CD)

Fauvist sound mutations - Bach's masterpieces in fascinating transformation: transcribed by Jean-Baptiste Dupont, Max Reger and Alexandre Guilmant, the works resound with fresh perspective on the Cavaillé-Coll organ of Saint-Sernin. The overlapping layers of transformation reveal - through the lens of French Fauvism - the unrivalled genius of the composer. Jean-Baptiste Dupont performs transcriptions of works by Johann Sebastian Bach on the organ of Saint-Sernin. The layering of composition, transcription, instrument, and interpretation emphasizes the polyphonic depth and dynamic colouring of the pieces. Timeless masterpieces merge with the expressive potential of the Cavaillé-Coll organ, itself a masterpiece of the 19th century.
