About

This series of recordings has a twofold aim: to present (as far as possible) the entire organ works of J S Bach in a sequence of recitals, each complete as a concert programme in itself, and to give a thorough overview of the whole history of 'Bach attribution' i.e. a picture of the tradition of transmission of the organ works which are of questionable authorship.

Kevin Bowyer has studied with Eric Welch, David Sanger, Christopher Bowers-Broadbent, Douglas Hawkridge and Virginia Black and won first prizes at the international organ competitions in St Albans, Dublin, Paisley, Odense and Calgary. He has played throughout Europe, North America, Australia and Japan and has become celebrated for contemporary and unusual repertoire. He has broadcast widely for the BBC and many radio stations throughout the world and has released almost 100 recordings.

Kevin Bowyer plays the Marcussen Organ of Sct Hans Kirke, Odense, Denmark.

"Bowyer's pace, musicality and his ability to colour each of the works on these discs with remarkable variety and crystal clarity, marked in the series as a whole, bring this music an unrivalled immediacy... This is a recording that one could talk about until the cows come home; better not to talk but simply listen, then my argument for its inclusion in your collection will become instantaneously apparent." - The Organ, on NI 5700/1, J.S. Bach Vol. XV

The notes to accompany the original release of this series on CD were written by Wilfrid Mellers, Jonathan Baxendale and Kevin Bowyer. These texts are reproduced in their entirety and form an extended essay of 42,000 words which is included on Disc 8. It is formatted as a pdf file ready for printing on standard A4 paper. Also on Disc 8 is an excel spreadsheet listing the pieces in 3 ways: by track number, by title and by BWV number.

This new set is released in MP3 format at 320 kbps - not as a standard CD. The files can be transferred directly to an iPod or MP3 player or to discs to play on a computer, on most DVD players or on the latest generation of in-car players.
