Reviews

‘This set marks a significant addition to the Christopher Herrick Bach archive and is a further manifestation of the happy collaboration between the artist and his excellent recording team’ (Organists' Review)

‘Hugely rewarding playing of the highest order’ (The Scotsman)

‘This disc is a 'must' for all who love this wonderful music’ (Cathedral Music)
This is Luther’s version of the Nicene Creed, the melody, published with the text in 1524, is based on the Gregorian Credo IV. This is treated fugally in the manuals, while the pedal repeats in various keys a striding figure, rising in thirds, which has been seen as representing ‘the struggle of faith’.
