Lost Bach's organ work recently discovered: BWV 1128

"Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält" is an organ fantasia written by Johann Sebastian Bach. The manuscript was recently discovered at Leipzig, Germany, in march 2009, after 300 years.

How many times in lifetime you can say: "I just listened to a piece by Bach that I had never heard before because it was lost for 300 years"?

Bach lives in his music

There is hope, then, that 'fragment X' may one day turn up! (If, of course, it ever existed!)

Is this music now available top be ordered by a music store? I would like a copy to play myself as well as study it.

Jawohl das habe ich komponiert - endlich gefunden Johann Seb Bach zu Grabe und ehemaliger Cantor zu Leipzig

Actually, it was discovered in 2008, to be precise on March 15, 2008, when the Leipzig auction firm of Johannes Wend offered Lot No. 153 with “manuscripts from the estate of Wilhelm Rust."

The Rust items were acquired by the University-State Museum of Halle/Salle, and finally due to the fastidious work of two editors, Stephan Blaut and Michael Pacholke of Halle University, the chorale fantasia was authenticated and has become BWV 1128!

Thanks a lot for allowing us to hear this work!

Or how many times can you say you heard a "new release" by Bach? And there are a bunch of 'em out there. Maybe more will be found.

So who is playing this? And what is the provenance of the recording?
