About

An account of Bach's Trio Sonatas bound to become a reference in a rich discography performed by an extraordinary organist, Aart Bergwerff, whose technical prowess is combined with an acute musicality, on the perfectly restored Wiegleb Organ (1739) in the St Gumbertus Kirche in Ansbach, Germany.

In Johann Sebastian Bach's six organ sonatas, three independent voices sound interchangeably. The right hand plays the highest voice, the left hand the middle voice and the feet the bass. A true musician wants to play each voice as if for the first time, responding spontaneously to what the others bring up. To bring such a sung conversation to life with hands and feet, he listens with equal attention and love to all the voices simultaneously. It is a miracle that it can be done. When it succeeds, it all seems simple and natural. A world opens up to the listener, in which it is hardly imaginable that there is anything more beautiful than a trio sonata by Bach.
