This is to announce two new CD sets released January 4th 2006,
recorded in March 2005. I am the performer and producer of
both of these sets. They use the specific keyboard tuning that
I believe was Bach's own, which evidence I have explained at

and in various publications during 2005 (Early Music, The
Diapason, Clavichord International, BBC Radio 3 broadcast,
et al).

The organ set "A Joy Forever: Opus 41 at Goshen College" demonstrates
the new two-manual pipe organ at Goshen College (Indiana), built by
Taylor & Boody Organbuilders (Virginia). The music is by Bach,
Brahms, Walther, Fischer, Erbach, Zachow, and some others. To my
knowledge this is the first *complete* recording of Fischer's
_Ariadne musica_ including its five ricercars: a book that inspired
Bach's composition of the Well-Tempered Clavier. The details of this
set are at
