Andrew Benson-Wilson is giving a recital in Leipzig next weekend on an organ where Bach gave the opening recital. The 1723 Hildebrandt organ is in the village of Stormthal – Andrew sent me some photos and I thought you would like them. The pedalboard is interesting! – and the bench Bach sat on for that recital is still in the church.
Recital details:
Sunday 22 June 2014, 5pm
Kreuzkirche, Störmthal, near Leipzig, Germany
Andrew Benson-Wilson plays English music from c1690-1740 by Blow, Purcell, Croft and Handel on the famous 1723 Hildebrandt organ in the village of Störmthal. Details (in German) here
