The Schuke/Späth Organ, played by Sophie-Charlotte Tetzlaff from Halle.
Every Saturday at 12 noon, a service is held in the cathedral, with a short organ recital. I usually miss it, as I need to leave Timmerlah an hour before, to arrive on time, and on a Saturday I like to take my time getting up! I made an effort today, as I knew three of JS Bach´s chorales were to be performed.
The programme consisted of Felix Mendelssohn´s "Prelude and Fuge in C Minor," a work I had not heard before, and JS Bach´s chorales, BWV 658, BWV 646 and BWV 667. The sound of the organ, filling every corner of the cathedral, was wonderful to behold.
