FRIDAY MUSIC: Four Maestros, by JD

Friday, June 2, 2023 3:22

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Yes, four maestros for the price of none – Johann Sebastian Bach, Karl Richter and ‘Vater und Sohn’ David and Igor Oistrakh!

———————

One of the most recognisable tunes in the whole of the ‘classical’ music canon is Johann Sebastian Bach’s Toccata and Fugue (BWV 565) I think most people will be familiar with it but without being able to put a name to it. Such is the power of Bach’s music.

It must be more than fifty years since I bought my copy of the Deutsche Grammophon recording by the organist Karl Richter. I cannot find the actual recording on YouTube, it may be hidden somewhere but I did find this version by Richter which has the added advantage of allowing us to see him playing with both hands and both feet and all from memory too; no sign of any sheet music!

There is more information about Richter on the DG website here -https://www.deutschegrammophon.com/en/artists/karl-richter/press-quotes/karl-richter-complete-recordings-on-archiv-produktion-and-deutsche-grammophon-260757

Karl Richter – Toccata & Fugue In D Minor – BWV 565

After that rousing hurricane force music, something a little quieter and more refined with another from Herr Bach which I also bought more than 50 years ago:

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043

00:00 – I. Vivace

04:14 – II. Largo ma non tanto

11:45 – III. Allegro

David Fyodorovich Oistrakh (1908-1974), Violin I

Igor Davidovich Oistrakh (1931-2021), Violin II

George Malcolm (1917-1997), Harpsichord

Sir Eugene Aynsley Goossens (1893-1962), Conductor

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Recorded 19th February 1961, in Brent Town Hall, Wembley, London, Great Britain.
