Question: Schweitzer testament organ recordings.
14. Apr 2009 at 07:53
 
Dear Members,
I try to find a complete listing of Albert Schweitzer organ recordings. It appear to me as one of the greatest treasure of musical testimony of recordings legacy, and a so important part of Schweitzer spiritual testament. I'm surprised to find no complete and exhaustive discography of these recordings. I also dream about recordings made during Albert Schweitzer concert rectitals, but never heard about.

Dear Christophe,
I have forwarded your question to the Maison Schweitzer in Gunsbach and have received the following reply:
Cette personne peut se procurer le livre de Harald Schützeichel
"Die Konzertätigkeiten Albert Schweitzers" (concerts de 1892 à 1955), que nous avons en vente à la maison Schweitzer, au prix de 23,60 euros.
Cordialement
Maison Schweitzer Gunsbach
We do not at present have a copy of this book here, so I cannot check, whether it contains any information about recordings.
But I think your question is a very pertinent one and well worth pursuing.

Dear sir,

many thanks for your rapid and interresting respons. I'll hope to visit Albert Schweitzer house. I have some of Schweitzer's Bach recordings. I know there is a new edition of the columbia last recordings by "andromeda" label. but it is a bad editing. Now, all Albert Schweitzer recordings are in "public domain" in europe, and every people can do "what he want" with this. I'll dream a serious and exhaustive "complete edition" returning to very good sources. As you know, Albert Schweitzer was so concerned about the sound of the organ used by him (!!) the respect of sound of the original recordings is very important to know his interpretations.
I still dream about a live recording from a concert recital, but I never heard about such a recording exist....

There are a number of (I think) the 1955 recordings posted on YouTube. A search enquiry will show them up
