Fantasia and Fugue BWV 542 (Bach) Jeanne Demessieux

[charliestanding]

She brought such life and freshness to all her interpretations of Bach. To hear this decades-old recording is just joyful. Mlle Demessieux, thank you once again.

Jeanne Demessieux studied organ with Marcel Dupré at Paris Conservatoire. In comparison with the case of Cécile Chaminade, she was not only a great organist but also a famous organ composer of the middle 20th century. She would merit to be better known today. She died in 1968, that is why this record is a digital remasterised copy of vinyl 33 rpm original wafer. So the recording technics were not as evolved in that times as today.
