Bach: The Schnitger Organ of St. Ludgeri in Norden is a monumental new release from one of Norway’s most celebrated organists, Kåre Nordstoga. This album features a carefully curated selection of organ works by Johann Sebastian Bach, performed on the world-renowned Schnitger organ at St. Ludgeri Church in Norden, Germany—one of the most important preserved Baroque organs in Europe.

With his unmatched artistry and deep interpretive insight, Nordstoga brings to life the power, intricacy, and devotional depth of Bach’s organ music. The program highlights both the grandeur and the lyricism of Bach’s output, ranging from dramatic preludes and fugues to meditative chorale settings.

The historic Schnitger organ, completed in 1692 and expanded in the 18th century, provides an authentic and richly colored sound world. Its original pipework and historical tuning offer a rare opportunity to hear Bach’s music as it might have sounded in his own time. The album was recorded with meticulous attention to acoustics and detail, capturing the spatial majesty and tonal beauty of the instrument.

Kåre Nordstoga, former organist of Oslo Cathedral, has long been a leading interpreter of Bach’s works in the Nordic region and beyond. With this recording, he adds another landmark to his acclaimed discography, combining scholarly insight with expressive performance.
