About

New piano transcriptions by Greek pianist Alexandra Papastefanou of various Cantatas, an Organ Sonata and a Chorale Prelude by J.S. Bach, all recorded here for the first time. The famous Myra Hess transcription of Bach's cantata Jesus bleibet meine Freude concludes a fascinating new look at some of Bach's choral and organ works.
