The spiritual father of the complete edition of the works of J.S. Bach on 172 CDs, a distinguished guest conductor, who has performed with leading orchestras world-wide, has put together for this occasion a special collection documenting his recorded legacy with Haenssler Classics over the past decades, featuring the recordings of his most admired and critically acclaimed works. Ten CDs, focusing on central moments of Helmuth Rilling’s artistic growth are presented; many of them have received international awards. They show the conductor not only for his profound understanding of J. S. Bach, but as equally familiar with masterpieces of Romantic era.
