This orchestration seems to be an interpretation that expresses *grief* and *sorrow*. It is beautiful, but, still, I prefer the original, light texture of Bach. I feel the original song's message is more about the *relief* by death.

bach is touched by god, in million of years there are only a handfull of humans. mozart, da vinci, beethoven, michelangelo

That record must be quite old because Leopold Stokowski died in 1977. He was an american orchestral conductor of polish origin (hence his name :) I love this piece!

Bach was truly a musical genius, and Leopold Stokowski helped bring out the true beauty of this composition through large orchestra, though the original written for organ is just as powerful. Memento mori.
Fantastic death music. Sorrowful and full of grief, selfishness but at the same time transcendent and almost at one with everything. Bach was truly touched by divine powers.
