In the last 20 years of his life, Bach focused on publishing works for posterity. This period brings us the Mass in B Minor, the Great Eighteen and the Schubler chorales, the Musical Offering, and the Art of Fugue. Bach also published four sets called Clavier-Ubung, or "keyboard interpretation," including the 6 partitas (Part I), Italian Concerto and French Overture (Part II), and Goldberg Variations (Part IV).

Part III of the Clavier-Ubung, recorded here, comprises 21 chorale preludes based on the Lutheran mass and catechism (BWV 669-689) and 4 duets (BWV 802-805). These are flanked by the "St. Anne" prelude and fugue in E-flat major (BWV 552a & b), making 27 pieces in all. The booklet notes by Ove Kristian Sundberg provide extensive information on their musical and religious significance.

After reading Jerry Dubins' enthusiastic review in Fanfare, I looked forward to this recording becoming available here. Since Amazon is still carrying it only as an MP3 download, I finally gave in and ordered the CDs from a UK supplier. And I'm very glad I did. I already had two complete recordings (by Walcha and Ritchie), but this one is even better.

The organ, recording, and performance are all great. The instrument is the 1721 Schnitger organ in Zwolle, the Netherlands. E. Power Biggs recorded on this organ back in 1958, after its restoration by Flentrop, but its appearances on CD have been few; it's wonderful to hear it again. The sound is bright and lively. Norwegian organist Kare Nordstoga delivers what Dubins calls "the most beautiful and satisfying organ recording to come my way in a long time."
