The Best of Bach with Latry
2026-2027With Bach, nothing is ever ordinary—everything is monumental. A visionary composer, an tireless teacher, and a meticulous craftsman, he mastered every aspect of the organ: tuning it, repairing it, commanding it… and above all, elevating it. A significant part of his output is intimately tied to the instrument, to the point of inspiring the French organ tradition century after century. Olivier Latry, one of the instrument’s leading figures, celebrates this all-encompassing genius through the art of transcription: Bach reimagined by Bach himself, then reinvented by Dupré, Duruflé, Vierne, and Widor. A joyful display of power, creativity, and reverence, where the organ becomes orchestra, cathedral, and playground all at once.
