This is the first in a set of Five Short Chorale Preludes from the Twentieth Century composer and organist, Peter Hurford. This one is based upon the chorale melody "Wem in Leidenstagen", also known as the hymn tune "Caswall". For another treatment of Caswall, listen to this piece by Keith Harrington: [ Ссылка ]

The composer's registrations suit the Silbermann sample perfectly hence this recording was made on a Johannus AGO Live III on the sample of the SIlbermann organ in the Katholische Hofkirche Dresden. Samples have four positions, Console, Front, Centre, or Rear of church. This was recorded using the Rear sample, highlighting the more than generous acoustic in the Hofkirche.
