Bach - Prelude and fugue in B minor BWV 544 - Te Lindert | Netherlands Bach Society

This Prelude and fuga in B minor, performed by Elske te Lindert for All of Bach, may have premiered by Bach in St Paul’s Church in Leipzig. That is where, on 17 October 1727, the university held a memorial service for the recently departed Queen of Poland. During the ceremony, Bach played the organ himself. He opened with a prelude and ended with a fugue, and although nobody can prove it, it seems highly likely that it was this piece. Recorded for the project All of Bach on October 2nd 2015 at Bovenkerk, Kampen.
