More Info:
A native of Leipzig and steeped in the musical tradition of J. S. Bach, Helmut Walcha was one of the most influential organists of the 20th century. Building on Baroque examples, Walcha started composing the Chorale Preludes during the war years and they became popular teaching pieces as well as ideal vehicles for expressing the clarity and color of organs both historic and new. As one of Walcha's most renowned students, Wolfgang Rubsam's interpretations are uniquely authoritative. This is the first of four volumes of Walcha's complete Chorale Preludes. Wolfgang Rubsam has recorded all of Bach's organ music for US and a great deal more besides, and his recordings of J.S. Bach's Das Orgelbuchlein (8.553031 and 8.553032) were acclaimed as "superb throughout" (Penguin Guide).
