Description
Johann Sebastian Bach's organ artistry made a powerful impression in St. Catherine's Church when he applied for the coveted organist's post at the Principal Church of St. James in Hamburg in 1720.
Having moved to Leipzig, he initially discharged other duties before he again came forward as an instrumental composer with a dazzling cycle of organ chorales in 1739. Andreas Fischer has freshly recorded this "Third Part of the Clavierübung" on his very own St. Catherine's organ - certainly in a rendering that would have brought joy to Bach, who could "not praise enough" this instrument "outstanding in every respect."
Bach surely also would have liked the tonal presentation on this finely mixed Super Audio CD. Our patented 2+2+2 technique enables this magnificent instrument to shine in all three dimensions.
