5.0 out of 5 stars The largest-size of the 3 Dover JSBach Organ-Music volumes, January 1, 2008

This review is from: Toccatas, Fantasias, Passacaglia and Other Works for Organ (Dover Music for Organ) (Paperback)

With this volume we get some of the most striking, popular and yet profound of J.S. Bach's organ music: the 4 Toccata and Fugue pairs, the g-minor Fantasia and Fugue, the great c-minor Passacaglia and Fugue, and a number of other thoroughly-beautiful works (e.g., the Fantasias in G-major {"Pièce d'Orgue"} and c-minor). This way, the other 2 volumes of 1) Preludes & Fugues where the Preludes are strictly preludes, plus 2) the initial volume of trio-sonate, the 3rd-part of the Klavierübung and various Chorale-Preludes and workings around, are properly balanced and complemented to give the overwhelming bulk of Bach's entire organ oeuvre.

All of these are beautifully reproduced from the authoritative Bach-Gesellschaft edition at a fraction of the price those volumes would cost otherwise! [Those who're unhappy about the page-turns had better blame the Bach-Gesellschaft instead!]

Most highly recommended, yet again! Bravo Dover!!!
