Schutz Edition

This new recording features some unique historical organs in Germany, which have a strong link with the great composer himself, organs which Bach might have known, and whose builders he greatly respected. Matteo Messori is one of the leading Baroque organists of Europe; his previous recordings for Brilliant Classics (Kunst der Fuge, BC 94061 and Clavierubing, BC 94201) have been awarded 5 star reviews in international classical magazines. His Schutz edition is a recorded landmark for that still neglected master.

In his garden, Albert grew pumpkins and gourds, and the friends would carve their bucolic noms de plume into the gourds…"
