We're going to feature some organ music of J.S. Bach played by Dr. Albert Schweitzer this week.
The physician, humanitarian, theologian, founder of the hospital that bears his name in tropical Africa, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and anti-nuclear-weapon activist was also a Bach scholar who wrote a two-volume biography of the composer and co-edited a collection of his music early in the last century.
Schweitzer's playing might not be quite up to modern performance standards, but rather is reflective of recital practice back when Baroque scholarship was scanty indeed. Listen for yourself and see what you think
