Bach-Stokowski: Toccata & Fugue in D minor - Sir Andrew Davis conducts

Leopold Stokowski’s orchestral transcription of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue for organ is probably the most famous of all Bach arrangements. It was splendidly played at the First Night of the 2000 Proms in London’s Royal Albert Hall by the BBCSO. For this performance, Sir Andrew Davis followed in Stokowski’s footsteps by conducting without a baton. As will be seen, he clearly enjoyed the experience.
