Johann Sebastian Bach was known by the contemporaries as a great expert in the art of organ building, and above all, as an incomparable virtuoso to the instrument. There are testimonies of his mastery and precision, his improvisational capacity, and there are also some acts of tests he performed. His concerts alternated various types of compositions and, knowing the vastness of musical culture of the Supreme Master, it is easy to imagine how he could use it to improvise in all styles of the time. Having at our disposal for this release an organ the embraces a geographical tradition-in particular those Italian and German-organist Davide Pozzi wanted to recreate a hypothetical concert performed by Bach in the Italian style. The Italian harpsichordist, fortepianist, organist and conductor, Davide Pozzi, got the diploma with full marks of harpsichord, fortepiano and clavichord, and organ and organ composition at the Conservatorio G. Verdi in Milan. At the same conservatoire he got a first-class degree in organ. Davide Pozzi held the organ post at the ancient Basilica di S. Vittore al Corpo in Milan for 13 years. Already a harpsichord teacher at the Cesena Conservatory, he is currently Professor of Theory, Rhythmic and musical perception, Basso continuo and harpsichord practice at the Conservatorio G. Verdi di Como.
