J.S. Bach - Sonata BWV 527, third movement, all three voices

Finally, the joy of playing the three voices together. The sound is from the sample set "Tholen". I play the left hand on the third manual with flutes 8' and 2', because that voice is generally a little lower than the one for the right hand, so it matches the flutes 8' and 4' on the first manual very well.

About

As a classical organist I have been a prominent Messiaen and Reger interpreter since the '90s. Nowadays Bach interpretation is my main classical project. This is represented by my research "Dancing Bach on the organ". At the same time, as an improviser and a performing composer, I have been creating a new musical language which brings together musicians with avant-jazz, avant-pop, Western classical and traditional African and Asian backgrounds. I now relate this to my Bach interpretation.
