Cameron Carpenter – All You Need is Bach (2016) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

It’s not just any instrument on which the ‘bad boy of the organ’ Cameron Carpenter plays this selection of works by Bach: it is a custom-built instrument made to his exact specifications by the company Marshall & Ogletree. Supposedly “portable” – you still need some large trucks to carry everything – the console itself weighs no less than a ton. Still, the instrument can be dismantled into several pieces, comes with an incredible arsenal of special speakers, and a dedicated amplifier for a rich sound. This Op. 8 Marshall & Ogletree ‘Touring Organ’ is built, according to Carpenter, for ‘its emotional magnitude, its sonic range, its coloristic drama’. Purists of baroque music may flee in terror, just as they did in the days of the revolutionary Glenn Gould. With a hyper-modern view of his chosen musical arena and an orchestra composed of a seemingly infinite number of organs, this record is extravagant, intriguing. Bach as you’ve never heard before.
