Description:

The last organ recital before the closure of Narashino Bunka Hall is recorded in its entirety! The last organ recital by Japan's leading organist Yuichiro Shiina on February 23, 2023, before the closure of Narashino Bunka Hall, was recorded in its entirety. The first half of the program features works by J.S. Bach, and the second half features 19th century works and arrangements of Bach's works, both of which are widely known, allowing the audience to enjoy the meticulously designed performance and the various tones of the 49-stop organ manufactured by Beckerath in Germany. This is a piece that brings to mind the 45-year history of an instrument that played a key role in the early days of organ culture in Japan. Kojima Recording
