The Orchestral arrangement of Bach's famous organ piece

this is such a banger Bach a real one

Found this gem at my local thrift store for just $1. The last 40 seconds are a colossal shout of plangent, unrestrained, and ephebophilic ecstasy.

You found an orchestra for 1 dollar. Interesting

Arguably a cheeky orchestration by Lucien Cailliet. The finale is certainly resplendent. Wish there were more recordings for Bach-Cailliet transcriptions.

That ending was epic

[@aifrmedia]

possibly an unpopular opinion, but I think the Calliet version is superior to a Stokowsky's

[@AllMusicEtc]

Tuning: 0c: A4 = 440Hz

Isn't this the Stokowski transcription?

[@greatclassicrecords]

No, the Cailliet

[@rayostwaldmusic7769]

Lucien Cailliet was clarinetist and arranger for the Philadelphia Orchestra. I spoke to Lucien Cailliet's son (also a musician) in Madison, Wisconsin years ago, and he verified that some of Cailliet's arrangements and transcriptions were marketed as Stokowski's for publicity purposes. Indeed, this one is Cailliet's, and wonderful!
