Bach’s Most Radiant Fugue...? | E Major Fugue, Book 2 – Well-Tempered Clavier, Trinity College Organ

Is this Bach’s most radiant fugue?
The E major Fugue from Book II of The Well-Tempered Clavier (BWV 878) glows with clarity and warmth. Its flowing counterpoint and luminous harmonies create an atmosphere of quiet joy — a moment of light and balance in Bach’s great cycle of preludes and fugues.

Performed on the Metzler organ of Trinity College, Cambridge, this recording explores how Bach transforms simple melodic ideas into a shining tapestry of contrapuntal brilliance.
