About This Song
About "J.S. Bach: Toccata & Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565" by Boston Symphony Orchestra
Stokowskiβs orchestral transcription turns Bachβs organ toccata into a cathedral of sound: brass fanfares and swirling strings evoke a storm breaking over stone. The fugueβs relentless march feels both majestic and menacing, a grand descent into shadowed grandeur.
