PERFORMERS
Emmanuel Arakélian, organ
From a young age, and throughout his mature works, Johann Sebastian Bach continually moves us with the extraordinary dramatic sense he imparts to his compositions. Moreover, it is their structure in the service of emotion that gives a particular meaning to his works for organ. Like a grand cathedral, the counterpoint intertwines and the cantus firmus overlaps, allowing the organ to sing.
This programme explores some of the great pieces for organ: from the learned art of the chorale, to the finesse of trio writing, through to transcription, Bach demonstrates his mastery of the art of proportion.
One of Europe’s outstanding young organists, Emmauel Arakélian returns to Victoria with this insightful program which should reveal the remarkable character of Christ Church Cathedral’s newly-restored Wolff organ.
