Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565 - Van Doeselaar | Netherlands Bach Society
From Disney’s Fantasia to The Phantom of the Opera, the opening of the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, performed by Leo van Doeselaar for All of Bach, has provided many memorable moments. The secret is in the striking first note, followed by that brief, tense moment of silence and the overpowering descending series of notes (or variations on it, like in Pirates of the Caribbean). Unfortunately, Bach’s own score has not survived, which has led to many speculations on the creation date of this wild and original composition that is actually not very ‘Bach-like’.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on October 8th 2013 at St Martin’s Church, Groningen. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel or consider donating
