The Johan Niclas Cahman instrument at L�vstabruk Church, 130 km north of Stockholm, is one of the organ world's best-kept secrets. Footprint is proud to release this recording from the multi prize-winning organist Christina Garc�a Banegas, who plays works by Johann Sebastian Bach on this magnificent instrument organ built in 1728, just as the composer reached the peak of his powers. Banega's album presents a fulsome and revealing snapshot of Bach the organist-composer, from the gravitas of his Prelude and Fugue in F Minor BWV 534 with it's stern five-voice fugue, to the touching simplicity of his strophic variations on Lutheran chorale tunes BWV 776. We also hear the fourth of Bach's Trio Sonatas- works of which the composer's first biographer Forkel claimed 'it is impossible to say enough of their beauty,'- and unfathomably inventive Ricercar a 3 BWV 1079/2, from which the album takes it's name.
