Bach - WTC II Prelude and fugue no. 7 in E-flat major BWV 876-Schornsheim | Netherlands Bach Society

This prelude and fugue ripple elegantly through the mighty Dom Church in Utrecht, which forms the backdrop for one of Bach’s more delicate works, in which Bach pretends he is writing it for the lute and the organ. This type of work, where one instrument imitates another, was one of Bach’s trademarks. Twenty years after his first collection of music in every key imaginable, Bach completed a second ’Wohltemperirte Clavier’. We recorded his first book of Preludes and Fugues at the homes of 24 different musicians. For this second part, performed in its entirety by Christine Schornsheim, we chose 12 very different locations in Utrecht, to celebrate the 900th anniversary of our home city. Recorded for the project All of Bach on 15 March 2022 at the Dom Church of Utrecht, the Netherlands.
