A new interpretation of Bach's organ works

Compilations of Bach’s organ works by Victor Lewis-Smith’s award-winning production company, Associated-Rediffusion and filmed on Bach’s original organs in Germany and played by York Minster organist, John Whiteley. It is a unique and innovative interpretation of Bach’s beautiful organ works directed by Norman Stone.
This is partly achieved through the use of tiny medical cameras showing the mechanical workings of the organ and micro cameras suspended under helium balloons.
The striking title sequence was designed and directed by artist Damien Hirst.
