Producers note:

Somehow producing church organ recordings rarely crossed my path. It always fascinated me however, because the HQMM Immersive recording principle (see page left) would suit the setting perfectly. From an early age on, organ was in my life because my best friend is a true aficionado and he insisted for ages that I would - have a go on it -. Now after all these years the perfect opportunity presented itself with Aart Bergwerff at the helm on the most suitable organ imaginable for this repertoire, the pinnacle of organ literature.

I dedicate this recording warmheartedly to my old buddy Johan Smelt who kept my interest for and knowledge about the organ alive for half a century.

About the Album

In Johann Sebastian Bach’s six organ sonatas, three independent voices sound interchangeably. The right hand plays the highest voice, the left hand the middle voice and the feet the bass. A true musician wants to play each voice as if for the first time, responding spontaneously to what the others bring up. To bring such a sung conversation to life with hands and feet, he listens with equal attention and love to all the voices simultaneously. It is a miracle that it can be done. When it succeeds, it all seems simple and natural. A world opens up to the listener, in which it is hardly imaginable that there is anything more beautiful than a trio sonata by Bach.
