More reviewsAbout
Recorded for Calliope between 1975 and 1991, André Isoir’s version of the complete organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach was an exceptional undertaking that received unanimous acclaim from press and public alike. La Dolce Volta here reissues this set, unavailable since 2008, on 15 CDs at a highly attractive price. These interpretations which have achieved legendary status for their magical touch and ornamentation, their supremely elegant and inward sculpting of phrases, are now enhanced by stylish new presentation (remastered sound, luxury packaging, recent interview with the artist, full details of the instruments).
“An organist at the pinnacle of his achievement. With superb virtuosity and most fluent playing, André Isoir proposes a subtle fervent and very spiritual interpretation free to the point of sounding almost like improvisation. His expression is fervent and his instrumental performance infinitely refined, but also narrative and full of contrast” Gramophone

Awards and reviews
February 2015
it’s clear from the playing that [Isoir] delights in making the most of the distinctive sonorities of these instruments...a player who compels attention, giving each piece a particular character and colour...It’s Isoir’s imaginative and genuinely affectionate approach to the music that makes this such a rewarding cycle...[he] brings out the humanity of the music rather than its noble austerity – I can’t think of another Bach cycle that is so enjoyable.
March 2015
Isoir’s performance here is beautifully lucid…these are absorbing, purposive and featherlight readings…Charmingly, Isoir makes the most of any bells to hand, and they contribute some additional richness and colour to his diverse textures. It is a thrilling collection…it is excellent to have this cycle back.
