Organist and jungle doctor, theologian and building manager, charity fundraiser and academic: Albert Schweitzer is one of the most fascinating personalities of the 20th century – far beyond any interests in intellectual history. On the 100th anniversary of the foundation of his \u2018jungle hospital\u2019 at Lambarene, Rondeau Production dedicates a very special Bach recording to this man of the arts, of thought, of faith, and – most importantly – of action. Ullrich B\u00f6hme, organist at St Thomas Leipzig, performs at Albert Schweitzer\u2019s central musical homestead, St Thomas\u2019s church at Strasbourg. The programme recalls the occasion which the Bach scholar and internationally renowned Bach performer Albert Schweitzer nurtured and installed as a tradition at St Thomas Strasbourg: the concert commemorating the anniversary of Bach\u2019s death on 28 July, performed at the biggest, largely extant Silbermann organ at Strasbourg. Ullrich B\u00f6hme, whose own initial contemplation of Johann Sebastian Bach was fostered by Albert Schweitzer\u2019s Bach monograph, has created a particularly striking programme for his homage to Schweitzer. It follows the proportions of Schweitzer\u2019s performances on the anniversary of Bach\u2019s death, and it contains only works which Schweitzer played on this occasion. All of these concerts were dominated by Bach\u2019s legendary death chorale \u201cVor deinen Thron tret ich hiermit\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
