Johannes Brahms, O Welt, ich muß dich lassen, organ chorale prelude op.122 no.11: the organ lesson 

It's an interesting experience to play Brahms on a "Brahms" organ - it all feels very right for the music. The action is mechanical. I know that I keep going on about how conservative these instruments are, even at this point at the very end of Brahms' life. Mechanical action, a physical layout with a Hauptwerk and an Oberwerk, only the most rudimentary registration aids and swell pedal: utterly different from the instruments just the other side of the new century. In feel and sound it's nothing like a Baroque organ, but nothing like a 20th-century organ either. Glad you're enjoying it! Tim

Brahms can indeed be addictive! Glad you enjoyed it. Tim

Thank you so much. Some of these Brahms preludes are pieces that one keeps coming back to, and discovering new depths; really rewarding. I'm glad you're enjoying them too! Tim
