For Your Listening Pleasure show

Summary: "Ton Koopman Plays J. S. Bach" Rudolf Garrels built the organ in the great church of Maassluis in the years 1730-1732. It was a gift of Govert van Wijn, a rich citizen of Maassluis, ship owner and former treasurer of the fishery committee. The organ was first used on the 4th of December 1732, the day on which Govert van Wijn turned 90. This makes it an instrument of Bach’s era. This Listener Guide features Period instrument specialist Ton Koopman playing four Bach organ favourites on the restored Rudolf Garrels Organ of the Grote Kerk, Maassluis, Netherlands.More info in our archive page @ https://archive.org/details/02ToccataAdagioAndFugueInCB [First Time on our podcasting channel]
