A obra de Bach para órgão

A obra de Bach para órgão é figura fácil na Internet: há gravações de Karl Richter, Helmut Walcha, Gustav Leonhardt, Michel Chapuis, Kevin Bowyer, Simon Preston, Ton Koopman e dezenas de outros. Estou oferecendo Kibbie por suas credenciais e pela facilidade de download. Você vai em "Click Catalog for a list of all works" e é só escolher.

Mas ouça James Kibbie.

James Kibbie is Professor of Organ at the University of Michigan. He also maintains a full schedule of concert, recording, and festival engagements throughout North America and Europe, including appearances at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, Royal Festival Hall in London, Dvorak Hall in Prague, and Lincoln Center in New York. During his month-long concert tour of the Soviet Union in 1991, Pravda hailed him as "a marvelous organist, a brilliant interpreter." A frequent jury member of international organ competitions, he has himself been awarded the Grand Prix d'Interprétation at the prestigious International Organ Competition of Chartres, France, and is also the only American to have won the International Organ Competition of the Prague Spring Festival in Czechoslovakia.
