About

"In the Spirit of BACH" is the title of Johannes Lang's debut album as Thomas organist in Leipzig. He was inducted into the prestigious church music position in January 2022. At the two organs of St Thomas' Church, the romantic Sauer organ and the baroque Bach organ, he has recorded a multi-faceted programme inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach's work. The great tonal differences between the two instruments, especially in the transcriptions of some cantata movements, are what make the programme so appealing. Thus, Bach's music can sound in the most contrasting light: monumental and dynamically finely graded on the Sauer organ, grave, brilliant and poetic on the Bach organ. In addition to his own improvisation, Lang will play Bach's Passacaglia in C minor, BWV 582, Max Reger's Phantasia and Fugue on B-A-C-H, op. 46, and the Rückläufige Passacaglia by Tilo Medek (1940-2006).
