CD Album

Although he was admired by his contemporaries primarily as an outstanding harpsichordist, organist and expert on organ building, Johann Sebastian Bach is now generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time and is celebrated as the creator of the "Brandenburg Concertos", The Well-Tempered Clavier and many other masterpieces of church and instrumental music. Bach was able to bring together the styles, forms and national traditions that had developed during the generations that came before him, and enriched them all.

This "Super Hits" collection includes "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and "Sleepers Awake", selections from Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Orchestral Suite in D Major, The Well-Tempered Clavier, the "Brandenburg" and "Italian" Concertos and more, with performances by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Glenn Gould, E. Power Biggs, Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, and many more.
