Beautiful!!!! Indeed, Bach's piece becomes a thing of glorious beauty when transcribed to the orchestra.... I agree that we should have more transcription of his pieces....

[Tsobanian]

@sAmfRancIs94 You're absolutely right! People demands more recordings for J.S. Bach orchestral transcriptions, because there is abudant library of those available.

[Francis1930]

Breath taking. Elgar has like all of us taken inspiration from the master of Baroque. Bach is so adaptable in his music.. Love it.

[stephenb1962]

I first heard this transcription about 30 years ago. It still holds the same power over me as when I first heard it. Long live Bach and Elgar, two great men.

[mtv565]

I agree strongly!!! Alot of Bach's works and fugues work very well with all kinds of instruments. I've listen to alot of his great works originally written for piano/organ and when they're transcribed to full orchestra, vocals, woodwinds, brass, they breathe new life! This is Bach's genius!
