Daniel Hyde (organ) - J S Bach's Clavier-Übung III

The monumental third part of the Clavier- Übung, often referred to as the 'German Organ Mass', is J S Bach's largest and most extensive collection for the instrument; a compendium of 21 chorale preludes, each appearing in two contrasted settings. They encompass an enormous range of styles, many musically complex or technically fiendish, and together are a true test of the organist’s skill.

Daniel Hyde is Informator Choristarum, Organist and Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford and a regular accompanist to the BBC Singers on Radio 3. Daniel made his solo BBC Proms debut in 2010 performing Bach at the Royal Albert Hall, and tonight we join him halfway through an epic survey of Bach's complete organ works in weekly recitals throughout the academic year.
