Bach - Fuga super: Jesus Christus unser Heiland BWV 689 - Van Doeselaar | Netherlands Bach Society

Fuga super: Jesus Christus, unser Heiland’ BWV 689, performed here by Leo van Doeselaar for All of Bach, does not really make for easy listening, being too chromatic and maybe also too complex in structure. It is, however, clearly a technical tour de force, as if Bach wanted to show once again in the collection how to construct a fugue from a chorale. This chorale arrangement shows Bach at the pinnacle of his talent. Recorded for the project All of Bach on 21st October 2014 at St. Catherine’s Church, Hamburg.
