Bach was Thomaskantor from 1723 until his death in 1750. His remains are in the church.

Organist Ullrich Böhme (Organ) Born: February 11, 1956 – Rodewisch, Saxony, Germany. There is a short biography here: https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Bio/Bohme-Ullrich.htm

This recording captures a hint of the power of the lowest pedal rank, the Gross Untersatz, a stopped 32 foot pipe rank, which produces an approximately 17 Hz fundamental.
