Jan Adam Reincken (1623 - 1722): An Wasserfluessen Babylon, Version 1
Jan Adam Reincken (1623 - 1722): An Wasserflüssen Babylon" "An Wasserlüssen Babylon" is one of the most famous Chorale Preludes from the Hanseatic organ Baroque. Reincken himself said about it that it would be his "musical portait". It is full of very individual details illustrating the text of the Chorale. Especially the long melancholic coloraturae in form of a girlande and the impressive "sunset" et the end of the piece are unique. The Kampen organ gives the piece lyric and romantic touch. The Chorale is from Samuel Scheidt, Görlitzer Orgeltabulatur. Wolfram Syré, organ. Organ at Kampen (NL) 1790 F. C. Schnitger (Hauptwerk, Milan Digital Audio).
