Organist Stephen Farr continues his survey of works by Johann Sebastian Bach with one of the composer's major collections of organ chorale preludes - the Orgelbüchlein. This unfinished compendium of miniatures, said by Mendelssohn to bear 'most evidently the marks of his genius', contains much variety with each of theforty-six completed works containing a well-defined and individual character. For this recording, Farr performs on the eighteenth-century Trost organ of Waltershausen's stunning Stadtkirche in Germany.

"It's remarkable how much Bach can pack into the tiniest piece….Farr performs with immaculate poise" Sunday Times
