Reviews

‘Herrick's 'Orgelbüchlein' is in every way recommendable and these performances can stand among the finest in the catalogue’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

«Style, goût et invention sont parfaits … une approche magnifiquement virtuose, riche en couleurs et d'une articulation prodigieusement élaborée» (Diapason, France)
BWV641 carries on the theme from the previous chorale, setting another text that cries out to God for help. This cry is characterised in the right hand chorale melody, beautifully embellished, with some surprising harmonic shifts above a continuo-like bass. There is a particularly touching scale in the final bar.
