The Recording
To ensure that the use of the temperaments would not influence the performance of the music, the music was prepared in the form of a MIDI file by James Pressler, creator of Bach By Immersion.
To further lessen outside effects, the recording was made direct to CD during a non-stop 90 minute period, during which the temperature and humidity of the room was maintained to eliminate changes due to the elasticity of air. For this reason, slight background noise of traffic and such may be present.
A Rodgers Organ was prepared and voiced for this recording by Noel Jones, AAGO.
The recording is approximately 75+ minutes in length.
Our Guarantee
We will gladly refund the entire amount paid if you are dissatisfied with this recording in any way.
