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)
BWV694 is related to another setting of the same chorale, BWV646 (one of the six Schübler chorales). Like its relative, BWV694 is a trio setting, whose keyboard parts do not cross—so are playable on one manual—and feature extensive imitation between the right and left hands. The slow-moving chorale is given in the pedal, in long dotted minims.

Wie das oben erwähnte BWV646, faßt Bach das Wort ‘fliehen’ in der ersten Chorallinie als Stichwort auf (das Stück wurde an späteren Sonntagen nach Trinitatis gesungen). Die beiden Hände ‘fliehen’ hintereinander nach Art einer zweistimmigen Invention, während die Pedaltöne die Choralmelodie erklingen lassen.
