Wright in Naumburg
William Wright, organ teacher at the University of Toronto and director of music at Deer Park United Church there, plays a program of organ works from all periods on the only organ known to have been played by J. S. Bach, approved by him, and possibly designed by him, as a built by Zacharias Hildebrandt in 1746 at St. Wenzel Church in Naumburg, Germany. The wide range of repertoire demonstrates some of the colorful effects on this organ, including a celeste, and the recording is very effective in capturing the sumptuous reverberation of St. Wenzel Church.
