Schweitzer's teacher, Widor, was taught by a teacher who was taught by an organ teacher who....learned from Bach himself. So Schweitzer truly knows how this music should be played. Slowly.
I have all of these 78s of the All Hallows recordings.Brilliant!Also been to All Hallows Barking At The Tower....not the same organ but a wonderful space for recitals.
Dr. Albert Schweitzer was a great humanitarian who went to Africa (Lambarené) to build a hospital care for the poorest people in the world, in a time when noone did this. A kind of modern saint. Besides, a great Bach interpreter.
I wonder when this disk was recorded? I have some of the CD re-issues from late in his career I believe and I like his performance here better. Well, I think I do anyway - haven't listened to the CDs in a long while.
Chester said it all, he was guenius, prodegy and almost single handedly built the first hospital in the African jungle. He is responsible for saving lives. Learn more about Albert Schweitzer.
As mãos que executam esta música, são a de um dos maiores e mais evoluidos "espiritos" que viveram no século passado. Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Suas obras foram as ações imanadas do Mestre Jesus. Schweitzer é o meu Mestre.
Not a great interpretation. Interesting for the time but we have learned so much more about Baroque style and aesthetics since then.

I used to have some of these, too - I got to know this piece by listening to this recording.
Not that organ's different: the church was bombed out in WWII and the organ on which these records were made was utterly destroyed.

scusa , avevo sbagliato ..
dicevo che suonava lentissimo perche' poteva studiare poco a lambarene'...
E' stato un grandissimo organista prima di ..dientare ancora piu' grande come ..uomo! Leggi la sua biografia, sono sicuro rimarrari colpita.
Scusami , ma e' un grande uomo e merita attenzione, ci puo' insegnare tanto.
