Soloist of the Moscow State Philharmonic Society, Honored Artist of Russia, professor Alexander Fiseisky (organ) will present 8th concert of all works for organ by Bach from his cycle including 15 concerts. Professor Alexander Fiseisky was born in Moscow. He completed his studies in the Piano and Organ Departments at the Tchaikovsky Conservatoire in Moscow with distinction, and today has a reputation as one of the most famous and influential organists in Russia. He has given concerts in more than 30 countries, and amongst them some very special ones such as in the "Festival on the Occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the End of the Second World War" in Vienna, and the "Special Concert for Parents, Children, and Families in Memory of the Children Murdered in Dunblane". In the Bach Anniversary Year of 2000 A. Fiseisky played the complete organ works of J.S. Bach four times in Germany (two times under the auspice of EXPO 2000 in Hanover, and once in a single day in Dusseldorf as Bach-Marathon). For this occasion he was given an entry in the book Records of the Planet Earth in Moscow. Several works by noted composers have been dedicated to him, and his musicological offerings (e.g. the anthologies Organ Music in Russia, Organ Music in the Baltic States, published by Berenreiter) have received first class notices everywhere. In 2009 a book about the history of organ and organ music was published by him in Russia.
