Published by Cavelight Music, BMI/ AMRA
Recorded September 1976 at Ottobeuren Abbey, W.Germany
 
"These improvisations were recorded on the "Trinity Organ", the larger of the two Karl Joseph Riepp (1710–1775) organs at the Benedictine Abbey Ottobeuren.
No overdubs, technical ornamentations or additions were utilized, only the pure sound of the organ in the abbey is heard.
Many of the unique effects, although never before used, were accomplished by pulling certain stops part way, while others remain completely open or closed.
Amazingly, baroque organs have always had this capability."

Identical to [r12777961 but no apparent sign of Henry Riedel involvement (runouts).
Reissue not before 1977 due to rim text  "Alle Urheber- Und ...", not earlier "Urheber- Und ..." as on original German LP issue.
