Bach et la France

Organist Bernard Coudurier ably surveys Bach organ works which demonstrate a strong French influence. Coudurier performs on two extremely well-preserved instruments: the 1775 Isnard organ at the Basilique du Couvent Royal in Saint Maximin, France, and the 1737 Treutmann organ at the abbey church in Grauhof, Germany.
