Charles-Marie Widor : Bach's Memento
Widor the symphonic composer had boundless admiration for the work of Johann Sebastian Bach. But ‘the affliction masterworks suffer from
is the overbearing respect they are wrapped in and which eventually makes them tedious’. Widor took to heart this remark by Fauré with respect to Bach, reacting with a freedom that can hardly be imagined today: his Bach’s Memento (1925) unabashedly practices the art of arrangement, to our greater delight!
