About

With its forty-five chorale preludes, the Orgelbüchlein bears witness to a mastery of the art of improvisation on the organ, as the congregation heard it at the time before singing the hymn in its turn. It was a tempting experiment to revive this primary function: by collaborating with the combined forces of the Ensemble Vocal Bergamasque and the Maîtrise Notre-Dame de Paris, Benjamin Alard gives the ‘little organ book’ its full significance and expressive power.

Organ Quentin Blumenroeder, Temple du Foyer de l’Âme, Paris (2009)
