Review by Ana Maria Gonçalves

Album Review: Orgelwerke (Organ Works) Œuvres Pour Orgue by Johann Sebastian Bach Alright, let’s dive into this classic gem—Orgelwerke (Organ Works) Œuvres Pour Orgue. It's a stunning collection of Baroque masterpieces performed by Ton Koopman on organ. If you’re even remotely into classical music or just curious about what makes Bach so legendary, this album is worth your time. First off, it’s not just another dusty old recording of Bach’s works—it’s alive. The production quality from Archiv Produktion brings out every nuance of the organ, and Ton Koopman’s playing? Flawless. You can tell he gets Bach in a way that feels both reverent and fresh. I mean, how do you play something written hundreds of years ago and still make it feel like it belongs here, now? That’s exactly what Koopman does. Now, let me zoom in on two tracks that really stuck with me: 1. Canzona BWV 588 In D Minor This one hits different right away. From the first note, there’s this sense of drama, almost like Bach knew people would be listening centuries later and wanted to keep us hooked. The melody twists and turns but never loses its footing—it’s intricate without being overwhelming. There were moments where I forgot I was listening to "classical" music because it felt more like an emotional conversation happening in real-time. Plus, the way Koopman handles those pauses? Perfection. 2. Trio Sonata BWV 529 In C Major Oh man, this track is pure joy. The interplay between the voices is insane—it’s like three instruments having a chat over coffee, except they’re all coming from one organ. Every section flows seamlessly, and Ton Koopman nails the balance between precision and warmth. What surprised me most was how upbeat and lively it felt compared to some of the heavier pieces on the album. By the time the Adagio rolls around, you’re caught up in this beautiful tension, only for the final movement to leave you grinning like an idiot. The whole vibe of the album is elevated by little details too—the cover art by Jos de Mey adds this quirky touch, while Hartmut Pfeiffer’s art direction ties everything together neatly. And shoutout to Heinz Wildhagen for supervising the recordings; they sound crisp as heck. So yeah, Orgelwerke isn’t just background music—it demands attention. But honestly? Listening to it feels less like homework and more like hanging out with someone who has incredible stories to share. Here’s the kicker though: halfway through writing this review, my cat jumped onto my desk and started “conducting” along to the Fantasia BWV 572. Like, full-on dramatic paw movements. Maybe that says more about my cat than the album, but hey, if music can inspire felines to channel their inner maestro, then it’s gotta be good, right?

About Johann Sebastian Bach, Ton Koopman

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 .
