Professor Kibbie has recorded the entirety of Bach’s Organ Works on authentic Baroque instruments in Central Germany’s ‘Bach Country’, available as free high-resolution digital downloads at www.BlockMRecords.org/bach where the good sounds are thanks to recording engineer Chistian Cerny of Leipzig.  Bravo! 

We recommend three excellent books to further your appreciation of Bach’s organ music:  J. S. Bach:  The Organ Music by George B. Staufer (Oxford University Press) and The Organs of J. S. Bach, A Handbook by Christoph Wolff and Markus Zepp, translated by Lynn Edwards Butler (University of Illinois Press), and Exploring the World of J. S. Bach:  A Traveler’s Guide (University of Illinois Press).
