This collection brings together both of Rilling’s organ recordings! The devout sound of the organ is now available on SACD for the first time! A precious recording from 1974, when Nippon Columbia (as it was then known) brought its equipment to the Stuttgart Evangelical Memorial Church to make a digital recording! Now available for the first time on SACD through high-resolution remastering using ORT mastering! Outstanding Recording\n\n“The Rilling recordings made at the Stuttgart Evangelical Memorial Church in 1974 are outstanding in that the long reverberation never obscures the details, and the movement of each voice part emerges clearly from the ultra-low to the high registers. ORT mastering allows for a more nuanced rendering of timbres, significantly enhances the three-dimensional spatial expression, and increases the transparency of the lowest register of the pedal keyboard. The magnificent acoustic space of the *Passacaglia in A Minor*, BWV 582, is particularly breathtaking.”\nFrom the liner notes by Tadashi Yamanouchi (audio critic)\n\nA tribute album to Helmut Rilling, who passed away in February 2026. This collection brings together all two albums that Rilling—a Bach scholar, authority on Bach performance, and active conductor and organist—recorded for the DENON label in his younger days! These are truly gem-like organ performances. Converted to high-resolution audio using ORT mastering technology developed exclusively by Nippon Columbia, this is the first-ever SACD release. The soundstage and sound quality have been vividly enhanced. The CD layer also uses the source material from this mastering.\n(1\/3)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COLUMBIA X TOWER RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53048488821025,"sku":"4549767374048","price":4752.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4549767374048.jpg?v=1784542911","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4549767374048","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
