J. S. Bach (21.3.1685 -- 28.6.1750). „Bach" means a creek in German. It is said that J. S. Bach is not a creek, but he is a sea.

Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) was a theologian, musician, philosopher, medical doctor, peace activist and Nobel Price Peace Laureate. The cornerstone of his philosophy is reverence for life.

@robroy1989 Ignorant fool.

[carmel1956]

@Eppoukoji Agreed! His fingers linger on the keys and gives the listener time to savour the notes.

[raxmeger]

It should be the organ renewed by Kern in 1961 in the church of Gunsbach (Alsace)

Grande Albert.

[alexvivacqua]

Saudoso Albert. Ficam na memória a beleza de sua vida e da sua arte bachiana. Como sempre, belíssimas e acertadas execuções de Bach. Albert, uma caminhada a mais no processo civilizatório e uma chama a brilhar no âmbito da arte.

I agree completely. Many years ago, I stopped going to church on Sundays because of E. Power Biggs playing Bach on the Harvard organ.

Years later, I first heard Schweitzer and knew that this was how Bach was to be played. For one, he plays the organ in a way it must have responded to key-strokes before electricity and, again, Schweitzer understood the registration which fills the great heights of the churches of his time.
