 Ann Elise Smoot, an internationally known and critically acclaimed organist, has teamed up once again with JAV recordings, this time to record two historic 18th-century organs in the Alsace region of France. Ms Smoot has for this recording chosen repertoire by Clerambault, Muffat, Bohm, Couperin, and Bach for this CD. The music is perfectly suited to the 1732 Andreas Silbermann organ of the beautiful Abbey Church of St Maurice in Ebersmunster and to the 1741 Johann Andreas Silbermann organ of St Thomas Church in Strasbourg, organs which reflect both French and German baroque tonal influences.
