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)
The manualiter setting, in a simpler three-part texture, is built from motifs which are themselves derived from the chorale. Despite its brevity, it is nevertheless ‘amongst the most closely reasoned of the whole collection’ (Williams 2003 p.420), with a dense web of motivic connections to the chorale.
