Annotation:
Director and screenwriter Alexandr Vojta created a remarkable collection of recordings of organ music with leading Czech organist Jaroslav Tůma. Johann Sebastian Bach resonating in the Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on Holy Mountain in Příbram presents an extraordinary musical document, in which the listener and viewer can observe the performer through detailed camera views tracking his hand and foot playing, registration of the organ, and everything else that the organist's activity entails.
The ability to perceive the bodily movements creating organ music up close means an intense experience for the audience. They experience music in perfect harmony between two interconnected realms: body and mind. The technique of playing intertwines with the spiritual experience, and the organist's face, filled with emotion, reflects a diligent effort for an authentic interpretation of the music.
An unusually conceived edit creates an attractive statement about the beauty and depth of music in the relationship between the musician and his instrument. Individual compositions are interspersed with dedicated comments. "Baroque music, visual arts, and architecture have one thing in common, which is perfect order," says Jaroslav Tůma in one of the episodes. Tůma's film accompanies the same values: harmony and order, which is manifested in a sense of detail, a gripping editing composition, and a deliberately strict to minimalist approach to visual processing.
About project:
Organ compositions by J. S. Bach form the conceptual framework of his compositional legacy, from his apprentice youth to mature mastery. Their collection has been the foundation of organists' repertoire for centuries. It is a rich array of predominantly polyphonic compositions created either based on chorale melodies or in the form of preludes, toccatas, fantasies, and fugues. Tůma plays the most famous as well as less frequent ones in forty-one performances, but he has not avoided compositions where Bach's authorship is questioned, as well as works by other authors that Bach has arranged.
Each work or series of works is accompanied by a verbal commentary by Jaroslav Tůma, whose purpose is to introduce the listener to the individual compositions, their specific characteristics, and to clarify the challenges that an interpreter faces when studying and performing organ music. At the same time, he places them in a chronological context, touching on their significance for liturgy, as well as non-musical contexts or sources of inspiration. This project represents the culmination of Jaroslav Tůma's lifelong interest in Bach's organ works. He first performed them in their entirety at public concerts from 1990 to 1993, and for this achievement, he was awarded the Annual Prize of the Czech Music Fund in 1993.
J. Tůma dedicates his concert activities both at home and abroad to presenting Bach's organ works. With Supraphon and rta records, he has also released a number of Bach CDs recorded not only on the organ but also on harpsichord and clavichord. These were recorded in our country, in Austria, and in Germany.
Each era brings a distinctive perspective on the famous works of the past. In expressions of musical art, the personal role of the performer is irreplaceable, as their approach to the score is influenced by many location- and time-conditioned circumstances. This includes interpretive tradition, experience with a wide range of instruments on which the music can be played, and many other cultural and spiritual factors.
The aim of the project is not only to capture the subjective approach of one of the leading interpreters of the contemporary artistic generation to interpretation itself, but also to record his views and attitudes, the summary of which provides a comprehensive perspective on an important part of the general cultural heritage, particularly in the context of the confrontation between Bach's music and Czech organs and Czech interpretative tradition.
