Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr' BWV 676 - JS Bach - Stéphane Mottoul - Hoforganist - Luzern

In this evocative organ recital, Hoforganist Stéphane Mottoul brings Johann Sebastian Bach’s chorale prelude BWV 676, “Allein Gott in der Höh’ sei Ehr”, to life on the grand organ of the Hofkirche St. Leodegar in Lucerne. Bach’s BWV 676, a radiant chorale prelude from the Clavier-Übung III, weaves the familiar Lutheran hymn tune into a rich trio texture that combines expressive counterpoint with spiritual clarity. The piece reflects the joyful declaration of the hymn’s text, “All glory be to God on high”. The Hofkirche’s magnificent acoustics frame each phrase with warmth and reverence, making this performance a moving experience for lovers of Baroque organ music.
