About This Song
About "J.S. Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 (Arr. Stokowski) (Live)" by Czech Philharmonic
Stokowski's arrangement inflates Bach's organ warhorse into a cathedral of strings, brass blazing through the toccata's storm. Live, the Czech Philharmonic relishes the spectacle—thunderous chords, gasping pauses, fugue unfurling like a banner. It's excess as devotion, thrillingly unashamed.
