Bach's organ music is very well known, unlike Brahms's output for pipe instrument. Indeed he loved the organ, but composed for it at just two crucial points of his life: in his youth and in the very last days of his life. The young Brahms was impressed by Baroque organ compositions and his A minor Prelude and Fugue almost translates into a Romantic rewriting of Prelude and Fugue BWV 543, composed in Bach's Weimar years. The Choral Preludes Op.122 that were published posthumously, represent a testament "in Bach's name". The obvious references to St. Matthew Passion and Orgelbüchlein point to the fact that the failing Brahms found inspiration in Bach to express his last intense and spiritual creations. The organs used in the recordings and the contrasting interpretation of the two repertoires show how a similar musical substance can become two distinct musical languages.
