- The Sonata in E-flat major, performed by Wolfgang Zerer for All of Bach, is part of a collection Bach put together for his son Wilhelm Friedemann. There was nobody for whom Bach composed and compiled more music - and music that was so personally tailored. He started before his son’s tenth birthday, when Wilhelm Friedemann was already showing great talent. When he was about twenty, his father compiled six organ trio sonatas for him.

I had no (real) music education, but I am obsessed with Bach. And if I could name one ... the 6 triosonates are my favourite. Grew up listening to them. There's so much emotion/affect in it. A wonderful performance of Wolfgang Zerer. You should also listen to London Baroque who did an amazing job playing the sonatas on string instruments - a very interesting way to listen to the Triosonatas.
A great performance by Wolfgang Zerer...zero surprise there. I know that organs were tuned to various pitch levels, even in the Baroque period....this organ is pitched a half step higher than A=440...quite different from the half step lower tuning of Bach's era...it sparkles like crazy. The 2nd half of the Adagio, when Bach inverts his original subject, and heads for darker realms, has always been one my favorites. Maestro Zerer's performance is wonderful, as well as his subtle use of ornamentation during repeated sections. Who wouldn't want to go back in time to hear Bach's ornamental choices? Please keep posting...forever.
To me this is a clear example of the reason why I can not possibly switch off this music. Once started I HAVE to hear all. Spellbinding ! Thank you
What a performance! The amount of control over articulation and ornamentation Wolfgang Zerer demonstrates here is astounding.
Bach must have loved his son Wilhelm Friedemann very much, to create this beautiful Sonata with this almost children-song's motive and its educational development all through this musical work. I liked very much Zerer's mode of touching the keyboards in a way that one can hear clearly each melodic line and individual sound, and his special registration, which takes into account the acoustics advantages and disadvantages of the Church's space and the organ's resonance. Bravo!
These six sonatas seem based on similar formulas - the so difficult perfection of the three-part writing in view of a perfect contrapunctal and harmonic achievement in line with the basic priciples of Westren classical music. Actaully, if we listen to these six sonatas better, we will realize that each of them has a mood of its own. Here, in my modest opinion, we have the triumph of firm architecture and greatness withoput emphasis, with some kind of dignified lyrism in the slow movement. This sonata is indeed a classical Western music masterpiece.
BACH IN THE MORNING....SUCH A GIFT..
Bach is the truly ambassador of God in Earth.
I recall from an LP sleeve in 1963 that WF was 17 when his father wrote the trio sonatas for him - quite an expectation and a mark of the lad's talent.
I'm hoping for a long time Wolfgang Zerer will once record Bachs 6 Triosonaten on cd. That would be great.
Soviel Liebe und Leben in Bach“ s Musik. Sie ist unsterblich !
When the adagio theme returns in inversion just turns my stomach, it is so beautiful.
Excellent ! Registration au top, bon tempo ...ça sonne super bien c'est précis et musical ! Bravo!
I have been a Bach fanatic since I was 17... He was amazing.
Музыка Баха - Дар Небес! Спасибо за совершенство!
Was für tolle Version, in der der Organist so leicht spielt! Wunderschön!
I had always been particular ly impressed by the emotionaly deep adagio ,now i know Bach was an spiritual composer , Bravo!!
Beautiful- one of my favorite organ sonatas.
As Wolfgang Zerer suggested in the above mentionned interview, these were wonderful pieces to listen to while meditating. Thank you so much for sharing this splendour.
