This set features two very different instruments by two of the finest organ builders of Bach’s time, both beautifully restored in the last few years. CD 1 features the 1728 Zacharias Hildebrandt organ in St Jacobikirche, Sangerhausen. The second disc features the 1735 Gottfried Silbermann organ in the Petrikirche Freiberg.
Repertoire includes the Preludes and Fugues in G major, A minor and C minor and the great Passacaglia in C minor.

“The playing throughout is of the highest order, even in Bach's lesser moments...Although the full organ is given plenty of exposure, there are many moments of delicate colouring in Miss Phillips's registrations...This is another artistic and engineering success and a benchmark of musical integrity.”
