A BAROQUE ADVENT: Organ works by Bach, Buxtehude, Balbastre - Dreifaltigkeits Organ, Hauptwerk

Tomorrow, on Monday morning, November 28, OrganArt Media will publish the Hauptwerk sample set of the beautiful Dreifaltigkeits organ of the Basilika in Ottobeuren. Karl Joseph Riepp built this organ in 1766, together with the smaller Heilig Geist organ, both in the same church. You could call it a South German organ, but French baroque & classical repertoire and even some North German pieces do sound very well on it. And, of course, Bach... I compiled a small program of nine pieces, mostly related to Advent. The hymn ’Herr Christ, der einig Gottes Sohn’ was related to many feast days in the past and therefore appropriate for Advent. At the end I play a Noël by Balbastre, to look forward to Christmas. 00:00 Bach - Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland BWV 659 05:18 Ahle - Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland 07:25 Bach - Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland BWV 699 08:33 Buttstett - Gottes Sohn ist kommen 10:00 Anonymus - Wie soll ich dich empfangen 12:03 Walther - Wachet auf, ruft uns di
