Provenance

Where it came from

Released by the French label Erato during the 1960s, this recording captures Marie-Claire Alain performing J.S. Bach's 'Great Eighteen' chorale preludes. As a central figure in the mid-century revival of French organ performance, Alain sought to marry rigorous musicological scholarship with the textural clarity offered by modern French organ building, recording this set on the Marcussen organ at the Church of St. Laurent in Alkmaar to achieve a distinctively neo-baroque transparency.

The album serves as a landmark installment in the comprehensive Bach series that defined Alain's international reputation. By prioritizing structural precision and rhythmic vitality over the heavy, romanticized interpretations that had previously dominated organ repertoire, the design of this release aimed to position the organ as a virtuosic, agile instrument. It remains highly regarded by collectors for its technical discipline and its role in standardizing the performance practice of the Leipzig chorales.
