J.S. Bach: Toccata & Fuga – Kåre Nordstoga

Bach on the new organ in Oslo Catheral

Most of Bach’s organ music – particularly that without any connection to the Chorale – is difficult to date with certainty. This applies also to major works that fall into the category Toccata and Fugue. Some of these, however, reveal stylistic traits that quite certainly place them under the youthful influence of the North German style.

Kåre Nordstoga, he principal organist of the Oslo Cathedral, on this CD displays the full mastery of the magnificent new Ryde & Berg organ. Nordstogas interpretations are that of a master musician fully dedicated to the music he loves.
