We have the pleasure to present a Bach programme performed on the exclusive little baroque organ from 1730 in the chapel of the Drottningholm palace near Stockholm. It was built by the most outstanding Swedish organ-maker of its time, Johan Niclas Cahman. Considering that it is a small instrument (only 1 manual, 6 registers), the great variation in sound is amazing, as tastefully revealed by the organist Bengt Tribukait. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | A Musical Offering
Jan Michiels has dedicated this collection to the memory of his music history professor Christiaan De Lannoy: “He was one of my greatest teachers in fathoming the chess game of our personal and musical histories. This “Musical Offering” is thus a modest word of thanks in the language of “the ineffable”.” | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

George Ritchie follows up his recordings of the complete Bach organ works with this magisterial performance of Bach’s late contrapuntal masterpiece The Art of Fugue. The CD recording is accompanied by a generous selection of bonus tracks and, on the DVD, by a feature-length documentary and a detailed filmed lecture. DVD Contents: 'Desert Fugue' (90 minutes) Historian Christoph Wolff, the Bach scholar of our time, and performer George Ritchie discuss Bach’s Art of Fugue and how it fits into the broader tradition of western music. Organ builders Ralph Richards and Bruce Fowkes join the discussion when the subject turns to its suitability for the organ and the sort of instrument that Bach may have written his organ music for. The final section of the film is devoted to the Art of Fugue and Bach’s legacy. 'The Art of Fugue: Documentary Introduction' (111 minutes) George Ritchie gives a detailed introduction to all twenty movements of the Art of Fugue, discussing fugal techniques and playing dozens of musical examples, all illustrated with quotes from the Peter’s Edition of the score. CD recording and bonus DVD documentary/lecture “Ritchie offers up such an intensely focused and directly communicative performance that it's hard to think what any visual element could contribute...[yet] the contents of the DVD are a worthy accessory to the two CDs...for me, the finest recording of Bach's Art of Fugue irrespective of media or instrument.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2010 | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |
