During his month-long concert tour of the Soviet Union in 1991\, the newspaper Pravda hailed him as “a marvelous organist\, a brilliant interpreter.” A frequent jury member of international organ competitions\, he has himself been awarded the Grand Prix d’Interprétation at the prestigious International Organ Competition of Chartres\, France\, and is also the only American to have won the International Organ Competition of the Prague Spring Festival in the former Czechoslovakia. \nJames Kibbie’s performances have been broadcast on radio and television in the USA\, Canada and Europe. His extensive discography includes “Merrily on Hill\,” performed on the famed Skinner organ in Hill Auditorium\, Ann Arbor\, works of Dieterich Buxtehude recorded on the historic 1687 Schnitger organ of Norden\, Germany\, and discs of music by Bach\, Franck\, Alain\, Tournemire\, Sowande\, Buck\, Morrison\, and contemporary Czech composers. Dr. Kibbie’s “audio holiday cards\,” recorded on the Létourneau organ in his residence and issued as free internet downloads\, are a popular annual tradition. \nJames Kibbie is internationally renowned as an authority on the organ music of Johann Sebastian Bach. He has performed the complete cycle of Bach organ works in a series of 18 recitals and is in constant demand as a Bach recitalist and clinician. His recordings of the complete Bach works on historic baroque organs in Germany have been welcomed with enthusiastic critical and audience acclaim. Thanks to generous support from Dr. Barbara Furin Sloat in honor of J. Barry Sloat\, the University of Michigan is offering Dr. Kibbie’s recordings of all 274 Bach works as free internet downloads at www.blockmrecords.org/bach. \nJames Kibbie is Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan\, where his 42-year tenure included service as University Organist and Chair of the Organ Department.
