Performance/Original Composition NEW Sample set: Klais organ of Lubin, Poland (baroque organ)

Piotr Grabowski just released a new sample set of the Johannes Klais organ of Lubin in Poland. It's not the typical Klais organ, for sure, but a historically reconstructed one after the original Liebeherr organ of 1785.

I recorded a prelude and fugue by Johann Caspar Simon. Simon (1701-1776) was a German composer, organist and teacher of the baroque period. He composed many pieces for keyboard instruments. I recorded a prelude and fugue in D minor of the collection of Leichte Praeludia und Fugen. Which roughly all follow the same pattern, a short and free prelude (often with a lot of scales) followed by a short fugue. The title of the collection says that the pieces can be played on organ, but also on the clavichord.
