About

Jeremy Filsell presents the very first recording to feature all five organs of Saint Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, New York, in a performance of Bach’s Clavier-Übung III.

Filsell's performances are interspersed with performances of each chorale by the Saint Thomas Choir of Men & Boys.

On this recording, the Choir of Men & Boys sings the Lutheran chorales preceding Bach’s organ settings.

There are five organs in the church, three of which reside in the church space; the Miller-Scott Dobson Chancel organ (2018), the rear gallery Loening-Hancock mechanical action instrument, built by Taylor & Boody (1996), and the Martha J. Dodge continuo organ built by Taylor & Boody (2001). The Tower carillon space houses a Peter Collins mechanical action organ (2008), and a 2-manual Aeolian-Skinner practice organ (1957) resides in the Choir Rehearsal Room.

The Miller-Scott Dobson Organ is one of North America’s most significant pipe organs, supporting the parish’s internationally-renowned liturgical and musical life, while the rear gallery instrument, inspired by the tradition of organ building active in the Netherlands and North Germany in the 17th and 18th eighteenth centuries, provides foil to the Dobson’s eclecticism.
