Craighead-Saunders Organ, David Higgs

David Higgs (Chair, Organ and Historical Keyboards Department) introduces you to the Eastman School of Music's stunning Craighead-Saunders Organ, painstakingly recreated over eight years from an eighteenth century organ in Lithuania, making it the most historically accurate German baroque organ outside of Europe. "I think this organ, probably more than any organ in the Western Hemisphere, sounds closer to the kind of instrument that Bach knew." Johann Sebastian Bach - Organ Sonata No. 5 in C Major BWV 529
