Later in life, he moved to Leipzig, where he was highly praised even by Johann Sebastian Bach himself—who knew more about organ construction than his own eldest son. In 1779, a new organ built by Kontius was installed at the Holy Trinity Church in Liepāja, the ancient capital of Latvia. After undergoing repeated renovations based on later-era concepts, workshops in the Netherlands and Belgium achieved a restoration faithful to the original in the 21st century. An instrument that meticulously reproduces that model is located at St. Michael’s Church of Peace in Leuven, Belgium; this recording uses that instrument to present a program that traces the musical worlds of composers connected to Bach and Contius.\nThe recording spans works by Bach’s contemporaries, such as Walter and Telemann, through a collection of lesser-known pieces that were once mistaken for Bach’s own, to music from the eve of the Classical period by Bach’s sons and his final pupil, Müthel. The world created by the internationally acclaimed Dutch virtuoso Bart Jacobs—who weaves in arrangements drawn from his rich performance experience—resounds with a fresh vitality through the clear and antique tones produced by the Contius-model instrument. Beyond the arrangements of the Chaconne for solo violin and the Trio Sonata, this collection offers the exceptional pleasure of discovering such substantial works as Walter’s Concerto for Solo Organ. It also features comprehensive notes on each piece and the history of the organ (in English, German, and French).\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ramee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53374645731617,"sku":"4589538784485","price":2511.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538784485.jpg?v=1787632174","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538784485","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
