Lorenzo Ghielmi's love for the organ was kindled during a summer vacation in a church: he heard a boy playing the organ, was enchanted by the sounds and announced at home: "I don't want to play the piano anymore, I want to play the organ!" That's what happened and, as a founding member of the legendary Italian baroque ensemble Il Giardino Armonico, he immersed himself in historical performance practice. This predestined him for the organ in Hohenkirchen, which was built between 1694 and 1699 by Joachim Kayser, a contemporary of Arp Schnitger. On his personal path to Bach, Ghielmi incorporated the Italian and Dutch influences of Frescobali and Sweelinck as well as those of Buxtehude. Arriving at the Thomaskantor's, he also presents some of his works that have only survived as fragments, which he himself completed in the style of Bach - something he would probably not have guessed at the time during his vacation ...
