The six trio sonatas stand out as an almost unique exception in Bach’s output for the organ, essentially composed for the Lutheran liturgy in a style that is frequently much more severe and sometimes positively out of step with the tastes of his time. To serve them K617 give us three organs from the Felsberg factory contributing their rich palette of timbres, played by the fingers and feet of young Swiss virtuoso Benjamin Righetti, 1st prize G Silbermann of Freiberg (2005) and the International Organ Competition of the City of Paris (2007).
