J.S. Bach: Orgelbüchlein, BWV 599–644

Organist Stephen Farr continues his survey of works by Johann Sebastian Bach with one of the composer's major collections of organ chorale preludes – the Orgelbüchlein. This unfinished compendium of miniatures, said by Mendelssohn to bear 'most evidently the marks of his genius', contains much variety with each of the forty-six completed works containing a well-defined and individual character. For this recording, Farr performs on the eighteenth-century Trost organ of Waltershausen's stunning Stadtkirche in Germany.
