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)
BWV715 is remarkable for its harmonic daring and spectacular runs: just as with BWV726, this setting of ‘Allein Gott’ presents the chorale in homophony, with quasi-improvised passages that connect the phrases. The affect achieved is one of grandeur and glorious complexity.
