Description:
Four become one? What initially sounds like an impossible task (especially as the string ensemble still has to be counted as "five") turns out to be a stroke of luck for the organ literature in the case of Bach's Concerto for Four Harpsichords and Strings (based on Vivaldi's Concerto op. 3,10, RV 580) thanks to this arrangement. Of course, it took an expert in organ transcription in general and in Bach's oeuvre in particular to do justice to this demanding task: With great sensitivity, Martin Schmeding created a movement which results in a veritable "organ concerto" and which allows the player to enjoy the many advantages of the popular harpsichord concerto to the full. Even a two-manual instrument is sufficient for the interpretation. A welcome addition to the organ concerto repertoire; the individual movements can also be integrated into the liturgical setting.
