1991 Rieger organ at St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna
No questions are asked when the name of Bach comes up. He is the undisputed master of organ music by worldwide acclaim, and this week, we offer a multi-national celebration of Bachian art, works of amazing grace and glorious intensity. From across Europe and the United States come a host of players, from Albert Schweitzer to David Schrader, Aram Basmadjian to Pierre Bardon.
From England, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Holland, France and America, our retrospective celebrates universal appeal and border-crossing cooperation. It's Bach International.
