Over the past 40+ years, ECM has released more than 1500 recordings that have been acclaimed for their exceptional music quality, creative production techniques, and outstanding sound.

Hymns/Spheres, Keith Jarretts celebrated 1976 encounter with the Trinity organ of Ottobeurens Benedictine abbey, is at last released in its entirety on CD in this double-disc set prepared from the original analog tapes. No overdubs or technical ornamentations were utilized, only the pure sound of the organ in the abbey is heard. The pure sound, as channelled by the mind, hands, and feet of one of the great improvisers of the age. When Hymns/Spheres was first released in 1976, some critics made comparisons with the organ music of Ligeti, Messiaen and Reger, but time has shown this to be an essential expression of Jarretts creativity, original to the core.
