About
With its forty-five chorale preludes, the Orgelbüchlein bears witness to a mastery of the art of improvisation on the organ, as the congregation heard it at the time before singing the hymn in its turn. It was a tempting experiment to revive this primary function: by collaborating with the combined forces of the Ensemble Vocal Bergamasque and the Maîtrise Notre-Dame de Paris, Benjamin Alard gives the ‘little organ book’ its full significance and expressive power.

Awards and reviews
May/June 2023
This set of Bach’s Orgelbüchlein is not only first-rate in every way in terms of Alard’s idiomatic and thoughtful playing, the excellent recorded sound…every one of these chorales is followed by the Childrens’ Choir of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris singing a verse of the chorale or hymn tune on which Bach based that particular piece. Emphatically, insistently recommended.

The effect, both individually and collectively, is stunning.
