Certainly, the Toccata and Fugue BWV 565 is the most famous organ piece at all - but is it actually by Bach? And: Is it even an original organ piece? This recording by renowned virtuoso baroque violinist Enrico Onofri tries to reconstruct the putative original version for violin and come to a convincing result. It also seemed that there was a version of Tartinis op. 1/10 for solo violin, which the violinist restored too. Besides the two reconstructions, Mr. Onofri composed two original works for solo violin that underline his rank as one of todays leading baroque violinists.
