Springs of Genius

Organist Margaret Phillips was inspired by Peter Williams' recent book on Bach, which approaches Bach's life and music by way of the famous Obituary, to choose the music for this recording. The Obituary mentions various composers that Bach had heard and studied in his formative years.

Reviews

A valuable survey of Bach's teachers pupils and contemporaries

A well programmed recital that holds back on the Bach so as not to overshadow the work of his contemporaries. Elegant Parisian organ, well played and well recorded. Read the full review at: http://www.classical-cd-reviews.com/2010/05/springs-of-genius-works-by-bach-and.html
