About

In his youth, J S Bach came across two North German musicians who considerably influenced him: Georg Böhm and Buxtehude. Their stylistic influence on Bach can be seen clearly in his early works. This SACD demonstrates the musical connection in a selection of pieces in which formal parallels and harmonic borrowings made by Bach from the North German masters become apparent.

In this recording, Martin Neu plays the Ahrend organ in Herzogenaurach. The organ builder Jürgen Ahrend from Leer, North Germany, is reckoned to be one of the leading organ builders and restorers, and has gained an international reputation.

The Ahrend organ in Herzogenaurach was built by his son Hendrik Ahrend, who continues the tradition of Ahrend organs.
