Today is the release of "Stairway to Bach - Rock Classics with a hint of Bach" with organ professor Sven-Ingvart Mikkelsen
A patchwork of J.S. Bach and Symphonic Rock music from the 60th and 70th
Music by The Doors, J.S.Bach, Savage Rose, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen and Procol Harum
All organ arrangements by Sven-Ingvart Mikkelsen·
In these arrangements, the connection between Bach and Rock is underlined by a direct interweaving of rock music with quotations from Johann Sebastian Bach, with the result that the music flows together in a patchwork of baroque organ, Bach and symphonic rock “STAIRWAY to BACH – Rock classics with a hint of Bach”.
Sven-Ingvart Mikkelsen is Professor and Head of Department for Organ and Church Music at The Royal Danish Academy of Music, and performs extensively throughout Europe, North and South America and Asia.
Featured on this delightful genre-blending program is the glorious Marcussen organ in the Concert Hall of The Royal Danish Academy of Music.
