The making of this CD is the result of several wishes. The organist and composer Benoît Mernier has been heavily involved since 2015 in the construction by Manufacture Thomas of this new instrument at Saint-Loup in Namur, one of the special features of which is to offer an original great organ inspired by two different styles (Central German and North German Baroque), in short the instrument that Bach undoubtedly dreamed of.

The great organ of Saint-Loup thus provides an ideal opportunity to address the question of transmission by tracing the relationship between a master (Buxtehude) and two disciples, one very well known (Bach), the other less so (Bruhns).

As well as celebrating the advent of this extraordinary new organ and revealing all its facets, this recording also marks the performer's sixtieth birthday.
