About

This CD offers a collection of Bach's organ works with influences from Northern Germany Arvid Gast plays both historical organs at St. Jakobi Lübeck: the three-manual Stellwagen Organ built in 1637 and the four-manual Great Organ.

In contrast to Johann Sebastian Bach's Thuringian home, Hamburg, Lübeck and many other cities in the north of Germany were well known for their organ music. Bach was only known to have travelled to the north of Germany thus his meetings with the organists and composers Georg Böhm (Lüneburg) and Johann Adam Reincken (Hamburg) must have been of great influence.

When Bach stayed in Lübeck to study the organ works of Dietrich Buxtehude, he visited the organs in local town churches as well, and was certainly familiar with the instruments at St. Jakobi.
