Julia Brown, Gottfried and Mary Fuchs Organ built by Paul Fritts (Op. 18)

Recorded at the Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, Washington, USA, 26 August 2009

Thoroughly trained by his father Johann Sebastian, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach became renowned as a virtuoso harpsichordist and organist. His surviving organ music includes the seven choral preludes and ten fugues on this disc, which range from relatively simple settings to elaborate displays of counterpoint. Born in Rio de Janeiro and based in the USA, Julia Brown, who has made several acclaimed recordings of keyboard music by Buxtehude and Scheidemann for Naxos, has been praised as ‘a first-class artist and superb technician…an exceptionally sensitive stylist’ (Classics Today).
