Album Description
Available in:
Hymns/Spheres is a solo album by Keith Jarrett recorded at the Benedictine Abbey in Ottobeuren, Germany. The album consists of improvisations on the massive Karl Joseph Riepp "Trinity" Baroque pipe organ, "the larger of the two Karl Joseph Riepp (1710-1775) organs at the Benedictine Abbey in Ottobeuren". The original double-LP was released by ECM Records in November 1976, only three months after being recorded.
The liner notes on the album state "No overdubs, technical ornamentations or additions were utilized, only the pure sound of the organ in the abbey is heard. Many of the unique effects, although never before used, were accomplished by pulling certain stops part way, while others remain completely open or closed. Amazingly, baroque organs have always had this capability."
The original double vinyl album was not reissued on compact disc until 2013. There is also a CD (Spheres, ECM 1302) with a selection of tracks: Spheres (1st, 4th, 7th, 9th Movement).
In October 1980, Jarrett would return to the Ottobeuren Abbey to record Invocations on the same organ.
The 3rd movement was used in the movie Sorcerer.
