Selecting Bach's Fantasy and Fugue in C minor, BWV537, as an opening chorus, I would like to take you into the bottomless worlds of sounds. It would be wonderful if you could enjoy the world of shades that lead from the Baroque to the Romantic era, through the series of pieces that were close to cantata, such as Bach's 'Schübler Chorales', The Six Chorales of Various Kinds, BWV 645-650, or Liszt's Bach Cantata "Weeping, lamenting, worrying, fearing" and the variations based on the basso continuo of "Crucified", the B minor Mass.
