Gravity Bach Complete performance of works for organ - Vol. 3

About This Movie

Gravity Bach's third volume of organ performances is quite an experience, really. Johannes Lang dives into Bach's complete organ works, all in the atmospheric setting of St Thomas's Church, where Bach himself held court. It’s a marathon of sound, spanning 22 hours, which follows the liturgical year. You feel the weight of each note as it resonates in the church’s acoustics.
