Reviews

‘Not only has Herrick found a simply ravishing Swiss organ which he uses with impeccable good taste, but the Hyperion team have come up with a top-notch recording. Once again they've given us a disc which combines consummate musical insight and technical mastery with sheer unalloyed listening pleasure’ (Gramophone)

‘Herrick has once again shown that his command of the Bach idiom is as total as any other contemporary organist's … an impressive addition to a milestone collection’ (Classic CD)

‘An indispensable collection and one I should not be happy to be without’ (Organists' Review)

‘Bach at his most tuneful and diverting and Herrick's style is particularly suited to them’ (Soundscapes, Australia)
This prelude has the appearance of a motet to the extent that it has been suggested that it is an arrangement of a vocal movement. The penitential chorale by Spengler, ‘Through Adams fall all human nature and being is totally spoiled’, was published in 1524, and in 1535 became associated with the melody Bach sets so solemnly.

from notes by Ian Carson © 1996

Dieses Präludium hat von seiner Ausdrucksweise her so sehr den Anschein einer Motette, daß eine Bearbeitung als Vokalsatz bereits vorgeschlagen wurde. Der Buß Choral von Spengler wurde 1524 veröffentlicht und 1533 mit der Melodie, die von Bach so feierlich komponiert wurde, verbunden.
