Joan Lippincott has recorded J.S. Bach’s Orgelbüchlein on the Fritts organ, Opus 20 (2000), at Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, New Jersey, on the Gothic label. Of her many recordings on Gothic, ten are devoted to the music of J. S. Bach: Toccatas and Fugues, Leipzig Chorales, Trio Sonatas, Sinfonia, Preludes and Fugues, Clavierübung III and Schübler Chorales, Weimar Preludes and Fugues, Concerto Transcriptions, Art of Fugue, and Orgelbüchlein.
This is the first recording from the Gothic Catalog to use DXD (Digital eXtreme definition) technology. DXD encodes the sound in 24-bit words at a sample rate of 352.8 kHz per channel. Recordings made in this format can be down-sampled to various DSD formats or high-resolution PCM formats, as well as a standard CD. DXD and the other electronics chosen for this recording yield the highest fidelity recording possible today. For information: www.gothic-catalog.com.
