Bach - Prelude and fugue in B minor BWV 544 - Te Lindert | Netherlands Bach Society

This Prelude and fuga in B minor, performed by Elske te Lindert for All of Bach, may have premiered by Bach in St Paul’s Church in Leipzig. That is where, on 17 October 1727, the university held a memorial service for the recently departed Queen of Poland. During the ceremony, Bach played the organ himself. He opened with a prelude and ended with a fugue, and although nobody can prove it, it seems highly likely that it was this piece.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on October 2nd 2015 at Bovenkerk, Kampen. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
