The piece is a tribute to Bach and uses all the chord changes from the famous Prelude in C from The Well-Tempered Clavier, only stretched out and slowed down — like smearing ink across a canvas.
Performed beautifully by John Morris Russell and the terrific players of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. | Posted on 01/Aug/2024 04:50:39
