About This Item
One of the great interpreters of J. S. Bach, was the New York Times' description of the German organist and harpsichordist Helmut Walcha (1907-1991). His "intuitive grasp of the composer's mind and intentions" was noted by The Guardian, while Gramophone judged that "his coherence and inner logic as a Bach interpreter remain unsurpassed." Walcha's recordings of Bach's major solo keyboard works, performed on the harpsichord, are gathered together in this superb 13-CD collection. Album Tracks 1. Klavierstücke, Op.118 V.
