In this programme Guy Bovet brings his exceptional artistry to a selection of Bach’s most profound and expressive organ works. The centerpiece, the Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor, BWV 582, showcases Bovet’s ability to convey the grandeur and intricate architecture of Bach’s music. The album also features two beautifully rendered chorales, the lively Concerto in A Major, BWV 1065, and the gentle, pastoral melodies of BWV 590, highlighting Bovet’s sensitivity and technical mastery. This collection is a stunning tribute to Bach’s genius and the majestic sound of the organ.
