Cologne Cathedral

Six centuries of scaffolding, and the spires still ask for care.

1880 · Master Gerhard and successors · Europe

The chamber score

Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565

Johann Sebastian Bach · early 18th c.

The largest Gothic church in the north still answers to one organ.

An original chamber arrangement in the climate of the work. The recording is not a copy. It is the room answering.

Why it is here

The largest Gothic church in Northern Europe, a UNESCO skyline of stone and glass.
