The other organ in the Thomaskirche is the Sauer, which was built in the late 1800s. There are no organs extant in Leipzig that were played by Bach.

The organ in the video is the Holy Trinity Organ at the Basilica at Otterbein, which one of the nicer organs still extant from the time period when Bach was alive. It’s very appropriate for this work.

Great video, and Richter’s playing style was both elegant and intense.
