The fifth movement with the organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach by Ton Koopman was recorded on an organ by Gottfried Silbermann (built 1711-1714), which is located in the Dom St. Marien in Freiberg. The program contains the third movement of the "Clavier-Übung" (nicknamed the "organ mass"), consisting of the "Prelude and fugue BWV.552", the "four duets BWV.802-805" and a number of chorale arrangements
… on songs that in Bach's time were sung during the catechism. As an encore, Ton Koopman plays the "canonic variations on" Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her BWV.769a "". Bach wrote this complicated work on the occasion of his entry into the "Sozietät der musicalischen Wissenschaften" in 1747._more
