Bach - Sonata no. 5 in C major BWV 529 - Koopman | Netherlands Bach Society

With his son Wilhelm Friedemann in mind – or maybe for a prestigious publication – Bach put together six magnificent sonatas for organ in the late 1720’s. The organ was probably the instrument on which he excelled the most. In this Sonata in C major, performed here by Ton Koopman for All of Bach, he reused a short slow work from his Weimar period, now surrounded by newly composed fast outer movements, each with an equally impressive structure. In addition, Bach cleverly integrated a variety of styles that should be mastered by a modern organist of the day. Recorded for the project All of Bach on September 14th 2020 at Stadtkirche St Wenzel, Naumburg, Germany.
