Ditta Rohmann and László Fassang, the performers, are actively expanding the cello-organ repertoire by transcribing works not typically heard in this instrumentation, such as the violin and harpsichord sonatas on this album.
Recording & Production
The recording was made at Cegléd Lutheran Church, utilizing a Thuringian-style organ built in 2014, which was inspired by instruments Bach himself used.
Instruments
The organ used for this recording is the first in Hungary to combine the sound of organs appreciated by Bach, allowing for a differentiated touch culture in contemporary performance practice.
Interpretation
The album aims to be a pioneering work, encouraging musicians to reconsider and re-interpret valued music rather than solely reproducing traditional performances.
Interpretation
The Flute Partita in A minor, originally for wind instrument, is performed by Ditta Rohmann on a string instrument, which allows for playing multiple parts simultaneously and avoids breathing compromises.
Interpretation
Ditta Rohmann, the cellist on this album, believes that Bach's Cello Suite No. 6 in D major was composed for a five-string instrument, the violoncello piccolo, and she recorded it on her own five-string instrument.
Instruments
The organ in Cegléd Lutheran Church, built in 2014, was inspired by the 1703 organ in the Bach church in Arnstadt, which Johann Sebastian Bach used during his first church appointment.
