Liszt/Reubke/Mendelssohn: Organ Works

Opis

Liszt/Reubke/Mendelssohn: Organ WorksOpis:Product DescriptionThis album brings together the first ever surround sound recordings of the great Harrison & Harrison organ set within the chapel of King s College, Cambridge. Performing three popular virtuosic works for the organ, Stephen Cleobury, Director of Music at King s College, demonstrates the power and flexibility of this great instrument. Originally built in the 19th century to replace an earlier instrument, the organ has been modernised several times and is due for a major renovation in 2016. Beginning with Liszt s dark-hued 'Fantasie und Fuge über den choral Ad nos, ad salutarem undam', this piece is based on a theme from Meyerbeer s grand opera 'Le Prophète'. Julius Reubke s magnificently gothic 'Organ Sonata' on the 94th Psalm explores the theme of judgement. Considered one of the pinnacles of Romantic repertoire, and thought to have been inspired by Liszt s 'Fantasie und Fuge über den choral', this piece is a test of both the organ s versatility and the player s pedal technique. The album concludes with Mendelssohn s Organ Sonata No. 6 in D minor. Based on Bach s chorale 'Vater unser im Himmelreich', this piece demonstrates Mendelssohn s consummate mastery of organ textures. The release will be accompanied by an extensive international press and marketing campaign.

Review'Stephen Cleobury thrillingly exploits the dynamics of the magnificent instrument at King s College, Cambridge. Exemplary liner notes, too.' --Stephen Pettit The Sunday Times, 17th May 2015**** Notwithstanding the brilliance of execution and the well-rehearsed and insightful registration planning of the big outer works, in many ways it s Cleobury s Mendelssohn the filling in the cake which shows off the rich, deep-mahogany colours of this most noble of English organs to best advantage. Fans of the organ and its devoted custodian will not want to be without this splendid recording. --Graeme Kay Choir & Organ, November December 2015Autor:Stephen CleoburyNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: Spanish: Published; English: Original Language; EnglishData wydania: 2015-05-04Waga: 0.26 gramWysokość: 0.5 cmSzerokość: 5 cmDługość: 5.6 cmUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
