The Philadelphia Orchestra, Leopold Stokowski The transcriptions of Bach’s keyboard works for full symphony orchestra by Leopold Stokowski, one of the greatest conductors of the twentieth century, formed a successful part of his crusade to increase the accessibility of music. In reality Stokowski’s transcriptions had little to do with Bach: they are rather complete re-compositions in the manner of Wagner or Tchaikovsky for the late-romantic symphony orchestra. They have enjoyed continuing popularity since Stokowski first introduced them, and took a central rôle in the internationally popular film which he made with Walt Disney, Fantasia. The recordings on this CD were made between 1927 and 1939, with Stokowski conducting in all instances The Philadelphia Orchestra, whose lush orchestra style was clearly well suited to his musical vision of Bach. |

Helga Schauerte (organ of the church of St Peter in Freiberg) The 20 pieces collected together on this disc date from 1708 to 1714. At this time Bach was
organist at Weimar. Up until this period Bach’s organ compositions had been influenced by the
music of Buxtehude. These pieces demonstrate that at this time Bach was drawing on French and
Italian influences. | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
