Reviews

'Turbo-charged with immediacy and penetrating lucidity. Goode and Silbermann make a formidable team' (BBC Music Magazine)» More

'Very fine performances of some of Bach’s greatest organ works, the focus of the recording is as much on the instruments on which they are played as on David Goode’s interpretations themselves. The Silbermann organ in Freiberg cathedral was completed in 1714, and has remained virtually untouched ever since' (The Guardian)» More

'One of Britain's finest organists puts the 1714 organ in Freiberg Cathedral through its paces in an all-Bach programme. Bach played Silbermann's instruments, so this world of sound—with its silvery mixtures, blazing reeds and characterful flutes—is authentic as well as utterly compelling in a cavernous acoustic. Goode is perky in the Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C, delightfully serene in Schmücke dich, and thunderously inexorable in the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor. An exemplary introduction to some of Bach's greatest organ works' (The Times)

BWV682 is an elaborate trio, marked by limping ‘Scotch snap’ rhythms, with the chorale melody given in canon, at the top and in the middle of the texture. These Scotch snaps were employed as up-to-date stylistic features from Dresden, perhaps Bach deliberately showing off his modernity. The melodic writing in between the canon is rich in its rhythmic subtlety and thoughtful affect.
