Reviews
A brilliant and enlightening collection of essays. Stinson sets the record straight about some controversial issues, offers a plethora of new and important information, and provides a wealth of data regarding Bach reception in the 19th and 20th centuries. For anyone interested in Bach's organ music, this book is required reading. * Jack Mitchener, Director of the McAfee Institute of Church Music and Associate Professor of Organ, Mercer University *
Russell Stinson has done it again with a book on Bach that every serious organist will benefit from reading. Addressing a variety of issues in Bach scholarship for the first time, the book also studies a wealth of fascinating information on how Mendelssohn, Schumann, Franck, and Elgar utilized the organ music of Bach in their own careers. This new work is a valuable addition to the existing literature on J. S. Bach. * David Higgs, Professor of Organ and Chair of the Department of Organ and Historical Keyboards, Eastman School of Music *
Sets an interesting and important goal * to survey a core area of the repertoire in the light of the ways in which it has been approached since it was written. Stinson does this very well indeed; he has aimed at more than one readership. And has succeeded on all counts.Classical.net *
Of particular interest is the inclusion of related material * e.g., a study of Eduard Krueger, a true Bach organ fanatic (in the Schumann essay); a comical text for the G minor fugue opening; and appendixes about Franck's pupils at the Paris Conservatory. For all organ ficionados and scholars...Recommended.Choice *
A unique contribution to the world of Bach studies... Stinson's book offers many enlightening insights that advance the cause of Bach scholarship and performance. * Early Music America *
