P. S.
(Quote: Bach, sitting beside Ms Dennerlein: "That's new, great! Teach me jazz!")
Why? For sheer musical curiosity, and he would have liked her verve, drive, inventiveness, and, above all, the improvisation - an art forgotten in classical music since his times. Nowadays the purists even complain when soloists perform their own cadenzas ...

Great indeed.
Ms Dennerlein does not "defeat the point of Bach's music" - bad classical musicians can do. She simply uses the Toccata as material for jazz. What regards the use of themes from Bach most purists fail to understand that this does NOT offend a "holy grail". Using other musician's themes as material was normal in his times. The 19th century brought the cult of genius and authorship.

@cuchulainn1967 Bach was the rebel of his time. I'm sure he would appreciate this. =)

THIS WAS TRULY A DELIGHT! BUT IT MAKES ME WONDER WHAT BACH HIMSELF MIGHT THINK IF HE WOULD HAVE HEARD THIS. MAYBE :" THIS IS THE DEVIL´S WORK!"?
