J S Bach Jean Guillou - The Organ Works Of J S Bach Volume 2
Review by Sakinah O' Kane -Smith
The Organ Works of J S Bach by J S Bach Jean Guillou is a masterpiece that showcases the brilliance of Johann Sebastian Bach's compositions. The album features a collection of his most famous organ works, performed by the renowned organist Jean Guillou.
Guillou's interpretation of Bach's works is impeccable, and his technical prowess on the organ is truly impressive. His precise and nuanced playing brings out the intricate harmonies and counterpoint that make Bach's music so timeless.
One of the standout pieces on the album is the famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, which Guillou performs with great energy and intensity. The organ's thunderous sound fills the room, transporting the listener to another time and place.
The album also includes some lesser-known works by Bach, such as the Prelude and Fugue in E minor and the Fantasia and Fugue in G minor. Guillou's sensitive and thoughtful interpretation of these pieces highlights their beauty and complexity.

About J S Bach Jean Guillou
Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685 in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany. A prolific German composer and organist, his sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra and solo instruments drew together the strands of the baroque genre and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, a control of harmonic and motivic organisation from the smallest to the largest scales, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France. Many people consider him to be the greatest Baroque composer, and one of the greatest composers of all time.
Revered for their intellectual depth, technical command and artistic beauty, J.S. Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos, the keyboard suites and partitas, the Mass in B Minor, the St. Matthew Passion, The Musical Offering, The Art of Fugue and a large number of cantatas, of which about 220 survive. He died on July 28, 1750.
Some of his sons also became composers - , , and .
