ORGAN CONCERTOS

In the baroque era, it was common practice to arrange instrumental concertos for the organ.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s arrangements of Vivaldi’s concertos are a familiar and typical example. This collection of six selected arrangements by Johann Gottfried Walther is a response to the demand for festive organ concertos.
