About

The previous volumes in this series have achieved high levels of artistry, and have been recognized for their contribution to the classical world: “Weinberger brings clarity and sincerity to a programme of arrangements of varying quality and provenance”. Choir and Organ on CPO 777018-2
 
In Vol. 19 Gerhard Weinberger interprets more organ works ascribed to J. S. Bach (but of doubtful authenticity) on the organ in the Dresden court chapel, the last and greatest instrument by Gottfried Silbermann. This instrument is the only one of the three Dresden organs by Silbermann that is still extant. After several restorations this important instrument from the late baroque in Saxony is now again playable in its original sound splendour. 
 
It is on this organ that Weinberg — finally! — interprets Bach’s most famous organ work, the Toccata and Fugue in D minor. Since recent decades have been marked by increasingly strong challenges to Bach’s authorship, this original composition has been placed among the works of doubtful authenticity here. Whoever wrote it, its sound cascade full of dramatics and wild virtuosity continues to be irresistible! 
 
[Gottfried Silbermann Organ, Hofkirche Dresden, built 1750-55]
