J. S. Bach: Nun komm', der Heiden Heiland arr. Busoni, (Joshua Rupley, Piano)

Ferruccio Busoni's piano transcription of Johann Sebastian Bach's heartwrenching organ choral prelude to the old Lutheran hymn "Now come, the Gentiles' Savior" (Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland)
Joshua Rupley, Piano
Dive into the profound musical world of Johann Sebastian Bach with my interpretation of "Nun komm', der Heiden Heiland," transcribed for piano by Ferruccio Busoni. This piece, originally composed as a chorale prelude for the Advent season, has been masterfully transformed by Busoni into a work that retains the solemnity and reverence of Bach's composition while infusing it with the grandeur of the Romantic piano tradition.
I particularly appreciate Busoni's seamless blend of Baroque intricacy and Romantic expression in this transcription, as each note and chord progression takes me on a spiritual journey. I find it both a meditative and exhilarating experience listening and performing this work!
