Magadino International Organ Festival

Tuesday, July 10, 2007

Every year a piece is chosen to be played by each of the performers playing the series. This year it is the Toccata and Fugue - Bach D minor. Gillian Weir is continuing this theme with a programme based on toccatas of the most diverse kinds, with some sonatas, which also celebrate the keyboard, in the Italian tradition.
