BWV 639 - Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ - aka "Solaris Theme"

"Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ" ("I call to you, Lord Jesus Christ") is one of the most famous compositions by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, written somewhere between 1708 and 1717. Just like with many other masterpieces (e.g. "Four Seasons" by Vivaldi), it became known and famous thanks to others, centuries later. In case of BWV 639 (i.e. "Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis," which is German for "Bach Works Catalogue.", item 639 (which, by the way, isn't the chronological order)), this piece was well-known and admired within classical and baroque music circles, but not to wider audience until Russian film director Andrey Tarkovsky included it in his iconic "Solaris" film.
What's more interesting, is how our perception of 639 changed because of Tarkovsky, or, rather, Eduard Artemyev (also sometimes called Alexey Artemyev, same person) - genius Russian composer, who created his own, subtly different, version of it, using electronic instruments of time. If you'll search for BWV 639, you'll find it played in quite different styles, which depends on skill and artist's perception.
In order to find a version that is not electronic, but is as close to Artemyev's vision, as possible, you need to look for one performed by someone, who was influenced by Artemyev, or performed for his admirers. In other words - any organ in the ex-USSR.
So here it is. An actual BWV 639, an actual organ. With footage from Andrey Tarkovsky "Solaris".

Музыка делает фильм. А не наоборот. Здесь большая работа Баха, а не режиссёра. Хотя и он тоже кое-что сделал, но как паразит паразитирующий на музыке великого композитора!

In the creation of Andrei Tarkovsky's film Solaris (1972), the music was added after the footage was filmed. This is a common practice in filmmaking, where the score is composed and recorded during the post-production phase. For Solaris, the music was composed by Eduard Artemyev, who collaborated with Tarkovsky to create a score that complemented the film's themes and atmosphere. Not the other way around.

Своим высказыванием вы просто убиваете мою идею. Идея такая, что часто именно музыка делают фильм таким, каким мы его воспринимаем.​@@moamber1
