Johann Sebastian Bach: Clavierübung III: The Chorales (2 CDs)
by Bálint Karosi (organ); Canto Armonico (First Lutheran Church, Boston), Ulf Wellner & Cheril Ryder (directing)
Johann Sebastian Bach was already in his forties when he decided to publish a representative collection of his keyboard works. Between 1726 and 1741 he published the four parts of his Clavierübung. The third part of the Clavierübung is a comprehensive collection of the numerous types of organ chorale that Bach composed over the more than three decades of his career. Some of the chorale settings may have had earlier models that were revised for the inclusion in the publication. Engraving of the collection began around 1735–36 and the volume was finally issued in 1739.
