Orgelwerke = Organ Works = Oeuvres Pour Orgue (Vol. 3)

Released by Deutsche Grammophon in the late 1960s, this recording is part of an extensive series capturing Karl Richter’s authoritative interpretations of Johann Sebastian Bach’s organ compositions. Recorded at the organ of the Jaegersborg Church in Copenhagen, the album reflects the label's commitment to high-fidelity audio engineering during the peak of the analog era, prioritizing clarity and the natural acoustic resonance of the instrument.

Karl Richter was a central figure in the mid-20th-century Bach revival, known for a performance style that balanced rigorous technical precision with a deeply expressive, Romantic-inflected approach to Baroque textures. His work on Deutsche Grammophon remains a cornerstone for collectors of classical organ repertoire, celebrated for its structural integrity and the masterful registration choices that highlight the complex polyphony inherent in Bach's writing.
