Bbc Po / J Bach .S. - King Of Kings - Bach Orchestral Transcriptions [CD]

Genre: Classical Artists · Label: Chandos · Format: CD · Edition year: 2025 <p>Sir Andrew Davis was a talented keyboard player as a child and teenager, and after study with Peter Hurford, at St Albans, he spent four years at the University of Cambridge as organ scholar at King's College, under Sir David Willcocks. It was this period of his life that sparked his love for and appreciation of the organ works of J.S. Bach, which remained a lifelong passion. Sir Andrew made all the transcriptions on this album for the BBC Philharmonic, and four of them were recorded in November 2023. Sadly, Sir Andrew died before the final recording sessions for the album could take place (September 2024): we are immensely grateful that he completed the arrangements, and very thankful to Martyn Brabbins for completing the recording with the sense of style, love, and affection that Sir Andrew would have admired.</p> <div data-bt-autogen> <p><strong>Tracklist:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Toccata and Fugue, BWV 565 in D minor~Toccata.
