Liisa Aaltola Clavier Ubung III (CD) (UK IMPORT)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Clavier Ubung IIICondition: NewArtist: Liisa AaltolaRecord Label: AlbaDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS Clavier Übung means a keyboard exercise or practice, which is rather a humble term for such exquisitely-crafted music. Bach borrowed it from Johann Kuhnau, his predecessor as cantor of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, who in 1689 had published a collection called Neue Clavier-Übung consisting of seven suites of dances. Bachs Clavier Übung III was published in 1739, when Leipzig was celebrating the bicentenary of the Lutheran Reformation. The hymns on which the 12 organ chorales on this disc are based focus on the six chief parts of the Lutheran Catechism: the Ten Commandments, the Creed, the Lords Prayer, Holy Baptism, Confession and Communion. Each chorale exists in two versions: a large one for one or two manuals and pedals, and a shorter one for manual alone; just like Luthers Large and Small Catechism. Liisa Aaltola qualified as an organist at the Sibelius Academy and has above all concentrated on the performance of Bachs music. One of the co-directors of music at Pirkkala Church in Finland, she has there performed the complete Bach works for organ at a five-year series of concerts in accordance with the annual church round.Country/Region of Manufacture: USAFormat: CDGenre: ClassicalNo Of Discs: 1EAN: 6417513104615 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
