Winner of several prestigious international organ competitions including First Prize at the XVI International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition in Leipzig, Germany, Bálint Karosi displays his talents with an all Bach program on the beautiful North German style organ by Richards & Fowkes.
"Karosi's consummate musicianship and deep grasp of Bach's musical style and aesthetic, supported by a brilliantly polished technique, are in strong evidence in these performances of 13 diverse organ works of JSB...Karosi's playing is impeccable. It may be characterized as crystalline and transparent, energized with rhythmic vitality, clarity of phrasing and articulation that are controlled yet projecting a sense of freedom, seasoned with well-placed, discreet agogics and tasteful, stylish ornamentation. The modestly sized instrument [by Richards and Fowkes] is bold and clear, ideally rendering Bach's polyphony and providing ample diversity of color. These are exemplary performances of some of Bach's greatest organ works."
