Malcolm Proud, organ
Dublin Bach Singers

JS Bach, Clavierübung III
Michael Praetorius, Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott

Ireland’s internationally-acclaimed organist and harpsichordist, Malcolm Proud plays Bach on the classically-inspired Kenneth Jones organ in Whitefriars.

The composer’s monumental collection of preludes on Lutheran hymns takes the form of a musical catechism as well as pedagogic instruction in keyboard techniques. Malcolm presents the large chorale settings from the collection, together with a prelude on the festival’s “theme tune”.
