Bach: Arranged

To arrange is to look back — and look forward.

It’s a musical act of memory and imagination. You take another composer’s work into your hands, and in doing so, carry their legacy somewhere new.

This programme explores the afterlife of Bach’s music through the minds of those who followed him. Max Reger magnifies the drama of the Fantasia and Fugue. Marcel Dupré reshapes sinfonias into technical showcases. And Bach himself is here too: unmistakable, uncompromising, and endlessly open to reinvention.

At the console is Tingshuo Yang, a striking new voice in the organ world. Still in his early twenties, Yang brings clarity, daring, and remarkable maturity to his work. He has already made a name for himself through his award-winning piano recordings and praised interpretations of Bach, described by Pizzicato as “timelessly beautiful” and “spontaneously creative.”
