sawylAlmost through chance, I discovered that Maude Gratton, whose performances of Bach I'd very much enjoyed when they were coupled with Damien Guillon and La Banquet Céleste's performances of some of the cantatas — in which Gratton had played the organ obbligatos — has recorded performances of some of Bach's organ works from his time in Leipzig.
The pieces show the same thoughtful articulation, careful registration, and attention to detail that made the Fantasia and Fugue in G minor and the Trio Sonata No. 3 so engaging. By way of a taster, here's the Prelude in E-flat major from Clavier-Übung III:
The instrument used in this performance is the Silbermann organ of the Friedenskirche in Ponitz.
