Tocatta and Fugue in Dm, JS Bach / Karl Richter



I believe there is no higher calling than music, the composition or writing, and performance thereof. I believe it trumps Art, which is most likely second, and writing, which I rank third most important. In this life I have at times been a pretty poor exponent of all of these, but fortunately little evidence remains. Others in all three genres are far better than I, and sometimes I like to share these favorites. Although Bach is not my favorite composer, this is one of my all-time favorite pieces, nd this is a superb rendition.
