Matsunami Kumiko

Description:

The Japan Evangelical Lutheran Church of Miyazaki built a new Hildebrandt-style organ as one of the commemorative events to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's Reformation in 1517. Organist Kumiko Matsunami decided to record this organ because of its exquisite affinity with the choral works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Making full use of the infinite register of this small to medium-sized organ, which is comparable in performance to a large organ, Kumiko Matsunami repeatedly interacts with the organ and creates a world of Bach's chorale works.
