J.S.Bach's Praeludium und Fuge D Dur BWV 532 performed by Ute Gremmel-Geuchen in Kempen

Ute Gremmel-Geuchen plays J.S.Bach's famous Prelude and Fuge in D Major BWV 532 on the Verschueren organ at the Paterskirche in Kempen (Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia). The beautiful instrument is a true to style reconstruction of an original Christian Ludwig König organ from 1752. The wonderful organ case is original!
Ute Gremmel-Geuchen has recorded seven CDs on the AEOLUS record label, five of which are part of our J.S.Bach "Complete Organ Works on Silbermann Organs" SACD edition. The other CDs include an organ portrait of the König-Verschueren organ (first CD after the organ's inauguration) and a recently released SACD album with transcriptions for violin and organ: "Copyright J.S.Bach".

Talking about 'pulling out all the stops' at the beginning. I knew that this was a prelude to a great performance! Also, I love the name, Ute.

Outstanding playing! Best version of BWV I've heard, and I've ghear a LOT of versions! The organ, style of playing, acoustics, recording are al A++. I particularly enjoye Ms. Gremmel-Geuchen's "cantabile" style of playing the closing bars of the fugue on the pedall: simple strretching the ast notes, like a basso opera singer! Bravo!!

I love this piece! I'd say that the organ has been tuned as A=466Hz, correct?

Why do "modern" organists refuse a change of registration for different sections of a piece? Basically Mixture used all the way through with no place to build up to the climax. I have an old recording of Daniel Chorzempa performing this & as Helmut Walcha used to do, the registration is "built up" as the piece develops leading to a type "finale" at the end. Check out those performances & you'll immediately hear what I mean.
