Bach: Harmonic Seasons

Tomadin, Manuel

95786

This highly original program concept presents 12 compositions, one for each month, grouped in 4 seasons, each consisting of 3 compositions: a Prelude & Fugue and 2 Choralvorspiele. The tonalities of C, E and G form the perfect triad, both in major and in minor mode. The different moods and characters of the pieces depict the journey through the seasons, the seasons of life: birth, joy, hardship, tragedy and salvation. • Organist Manuel Tomadin is one of the foremost Italian organists of today, a scholar and passionate musician, with an impressive discography to his name: Husumer Organ Book, Alberti Complete Keyboard Works, and other North German organ masters. • On this recording he plays the magnificent 1737 Treutmann organ of the Stiftskirche in Grauhof, one of the most impressive instruments of the German Baroque. The full specifications of the organ are included in the booklet.
