It is believed that these instruments were most likely in Bach's own hands and played by Bach himself. Of these, one violin and one viola each from St. Thomas Church and one violin from St. Nicolai Church are still extant and can be seen in the exhibition room at St. Thomas Church. These instruments have been played since Bach's time, and while they have been modified to meet the demands of each period, they have remained in playable condition until the present day. This is the first time that this instrument has been used in a recording, and you can hear its sound in Bach's masterpiece from his last years. The album opens with the chorale from Cantata No. 75, which was first performed after Bach was appointed cantor of St. Thomas Church, and closes with the chorale added at the end of the first edition of \"Technique des Fugues.The organ used here to play these chorales is from the church in the Leipzig suburb of Stellmtal, and is known to have been tried out by Bach at its inauguration in 1723; it was restored in 2008 to sound in its original me-tone, and is now in use at the St. Thomas Church. Collegium Musicum '23 was formed by violinist Nadia Zwirner and Johannes Lang, organist of St. Thomas Church, in 2023, the 300th anniversary of Bach's inauguration as cantor, and performs small and large baroque works under its \"23\" name. The group performs regularly in the city, mainly at St. Thomas Church, in cooperation with the Bach Museum and the Leipzig City History Museum.\n\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ramee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51435789091105,"sku":"4589538822767","price":771.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538822767.jpg?v=1751292631","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-tw\/products\/4589538822767","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
