Описание к видео Bach | Prelude and Fugue in B minor BWV 544 - James Orford, the Grand Organ of Westminster Cathedral

Johann Sebastian Bach's incredible Prelude and Fugue in B minor, performed here by James Orford on the Henry Willis III Grand Organ at Westminster Cathedral. It is a piece full of torment and anguish, but also with moments of intense joy and catharsis. Particularly appropriate for Passiontide, as there are links with the St John Passion BWV 245, most notably the big cadences in the Prelude, in which the top line is very similar to the phrase sung to the words "Es is vollbracht".
