About
Two great organists on two famous organs - and then Bach! Leo van Doeselaar and Erwin Wiersinga approach the Saxon master in an interesting and original way, and the fact that the two titular organists at their Martinikerk in Groningen have at their disposal one of the most important baroque organs from the workshop of the jubilarian Arp Schnitgers makes this new publication a current as well as exciting experience.
Elaborately produced for multi-channel playback on Super Audio CD, this new release is a delight with its three-dimensional, high-resolution sound, which allows the spatial distribution of the two instruments to be experienced embedded in the cathedral sound of the Gothic church.

Awards and reviews
November 2019
this is a very enjoyable disc indeed, and rare in including the 1744 Le Picard organ in the choir, originally the Positif de Dos of a larger instrument elsewhere. On it, Wiersinga plays the Ciacona, with something of the intimacy of the original, and three movements from Die Kunst der Fuge. The glorious conclusion is provided by the chorale Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott, BWV 80, arranged for four hands and feet. The playing of both organists is splendid and lively and the spectacular Groningen organ, although claustrophobically captured here, never disappoints.
