Johann Ludwig Krebs: Präludium in F

Today I had the opportunity to play the historic organ at Lahm im Itzgrund, about 20 miles from where I live. It was built in 1732 by the famous organ builder Heinrich Gottlieb Herbst. Despite its relatively modest 29 stops (two manuals and pedal) it boasts of no less than two 32-foot stops: an acoustic 32 foot (Sub-Bass 16 and Quint-grosso 12) and a Posaunen-Bass 32. It also has a cymbal star, a typically Baroque extra. I’m playing a prelude by Krebs (1713-1780) in F. This is the full organ, including the manual coupler, which made playing a lot more difficult. Towards the end, I add the mighty Posaunen-Bass 32’. If you want to know more about the organ, go to (in German only, but the specification is in universal organ language).
