Igor Cecocho & Piotr Rojek - Bach: Transcriptions for Trumpet & Organ (2019)

Bodies of the church of St. Wawrzyńca w Wołowie (1715-1717), come from a workshop, one of the greatest Silesian builders Adam Horatio Casparini. Contemporary disposition, slightly modified in the nineteenth century, does not differ much from the Casparini concept. The instrument still meets the requirements of very orthodox baroque literature, including the works of Johann Sebastian Bach.

It is perfect for the role that professors - Igor Cecocho and Piotr Rojek, associated with the Wrocław Academy of Music - set for him. The musicians undertook to examine and synthesize the creative individuality of Johann Sebastian Bach, seen from the perspective of instrumentalists aware of the baggage of experience and the multifaceted inspiration of the cantor of Leipzig. They reached for works from the most famous Bach collections and made their creative reinterpretation using transcriptions of these works and the possibilities of the trumpet and the unique instrument from Wołowa.
