Cyprien Katsaris live in Shanghai, 2005 – Bach/Katsaris, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565

The Toccata and Fugue is part of the recital Cyprien Katsaris gave at the International Piano Festival of Shanghai Conservatory of Music on 4 October 2005. The DVD of that recital features the first video recordings in the world of the 3 following transcriptions: Katsaris’ own version of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue BWV 565 we see in this video, Schubert’s Ballet Music “Rosamunde, Princess of Cyprus” arranged by Ernst Pauer, and the Overture “The Queen of Cyprus” of Jacques-François Fromental Halévy arranged by… Richard Wagner (!), who was an admirer of Halévy. In addition to a number of lesser-known works of Liszt, there is also a Chinese piece which Katsaris learned at the very last moment, an hour before the concert started, especially for the Shanghai audience.
