CARL NIELSEN · RUED LANGAARD : Organ Works (Friedhelm Flamme) (2010) SACD | Two Version | FLAC (image+.tracks+.cue), lossless

Friedhelm Flamme, known for his seven successful releases in our Northern German Organ Baroque Edition, now takes a change of pace for cpo and on SACD with the complete organ works of Carl Nielsen and five organ pieces by Rued Langgaard. Of all the potential influences on Nielsen, the Danish offshoot of the German »organ movement« must have been the most important one; this pathbreaking return to old baroque principles left its imprint on organ design during the twentieth century, and its ideals met with great resonance in Nielsen, whose anti-romantic vein likewise made itself noticeable in his contributions to the National Symphony Orchestrang tradition and to the revival of the symphony. A little piece entitled »Melody, « first published in the complete edition of his piano and organ works in 2006, now has its place in his organ oeuvre and is presented here as a recording premiere. Flamme interprets these organ compositions of high art and imagination on the Mühleisen organ in the Bad Gandersheim Monastery Church. jpc

MORTON FELDMAN : Durations I-V · Coptic Light (Ensemble Avantgarde · Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin · Michael Morgan) (1996) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Performed by the Ensemble Avantgarde, and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conducted by Michael Morgan, this is a very sensitive and fine performance of the new music classic "Durations I-V." In these five innovative pieces, the composer gave over control of the duration parameter entirely to the performers (there are only notes without stems, therefore no divided rhythm) -- the pulse (ictus) is slow, all is quiet, the tones have a minimum of attack. Thus, each performance is unique, and creates its own timbre combinations and exquisite beauty of a transparent sound texture. By contrast, "Coptic Light" for orchestra is of an extremely dense, polyrhythmic texture that shifts slowly by rhythmic staggering (phase shifting) within orchestral groups, creating the unique effect of a shimmering of sound analogous to the shimmering of light on water. The specific visual analog in Feldman's mind was the fine interweaving of ancient Coptic textiles he had seen in a museum. He was also attempting to create the effect of a piano's sustaining pedal for the orchestra, which allows tones to continue resonating and to blend together and overlap. "Blue" Gene Tyranny

AUGUSTE FAUCHARD : Complete Organ Works (Friedhelm Flamme) 3CD (2021) SACD Hybrid | FLAC (tracks), lossless

"After many attempts to secure the rights to all the scores, we are now finally able to release the complete organ works of Auguste Fauchard in congenial interpretations by Friedhelm Flamme. Fauchard enjoyed the greatest success as a student of composition under Vincent d’Indy and organ under André Marchal and Louis Vierne, with Vierne doubtless exercising the greatest influence on our composer. The heart of Fauchard’s organ oeuvre is formed by four symphonies representing the highest level of compositional and playing technique; here his model, Vierne, frequently registers his presence, both in view of thematic design and compositional-technical details. This applies in special measure to Fauchard’s harmonies, though his amalgamation of modulatory processes bringing Sigfrid Karg-Elert to mind lends them a thoroughly individual coloration. It is thus that it may rightly be claimed that Auguste Fauchard, with his four symphonies, once again made very important contributions to the genre of the organ symphony." prestomusic.com

Following the great success of our new complete recording – and the most comprehensive one ever – of Bach’s organ works (German Record Critics Prize for the Year 2009) Gerhard Weinberger now turns to a new edition featuring the organ compositions of Max Reger in performances on selected magnificent organs surviving from the Reger period. prestomusic

Gerhard Weinberger has launched a complete recording of Reger’s organ oeuvre on cpo: an auspicious beginning. In this repertoire too, he proves to be an extraordinary interpreter with both virtuosity and discerning nuance. prestomusic

MAX REGER — Organ Works Vol. 3 (Gerhard Weinberger) 2CD (2016) SACD Hybrid | FLAC (tracks), lossless

Along with other chorale fantasias and chorale preludes, vol.3 of our edition of Max Reger’s organ works presents his Twelve Pieces op.59. These works inaugurated Reger’s series of composite works intended for practical use in religious services. These are the only works by Reger based on Gregorian melodies, which, however in no way evoke modal harmonic structures but are fully integrated into his complex harmonic structures. prestomusic

MAX REGER — Organ Works Vol. 4 (Gerhard Weinberger) 2CD (2017) SACD Hybrid | FLAC (tracks), lossless

The Reger Edition continues, following three releases accompanied by rave reviews from the critics. klassik-heute wrote in 2015, ‘In this sumptuous music Gerhard Weinberger turns enthusing technical virtuosity into an audio event. We can eagerly look forward to the other volumes of this complete recording and already certify that this edition will do an outstanding job of initially introducing the Reger beginner to his organ cosmos.’ And Musik & Theater opined in 2016, ‘These discs rank with the best currently available recordings in the field of Reger’s organ music.’ Vol. 4 again features two CDs in the best Surround Sound. The focus is formed by Reger’s op. 57, to which he added the adjective ‘Symphonic’, thereby making it absolutely clear that this work would represent a high point not only in his own organ oeuvre but also in the whole of the organ literature. In his op. 145 collection published in early 1916 – first designated as the ‘Seven Organ Pieces’ in posthumous editions – all the pieces have in common the quotation of chorales corresponding in content to the particular work title. The Introduction and (above all) the Passacaglia in F minor are surely the most outstanding numbers among the twelve pieces constituting his Monologues op. 63. prestomusic

MAX REGER — Organ Works Vol. 5 (Gerhard Weinberger) 2CD (2018) SACD Hybrid | FLAC (tracks), lossless

CPO's successful Reger edition continues here with the fifth volume in the successful series, even as critics are still raving about the previous release. Musik & Theater wrote of Volume 4: "These recordings number among the best currently available." The German organist and choral conductor, Gerhard Weinberger, studied organ with Franz Lehrndorfer and church music at the Musikhochschule in Munich. In 1971, he was the prize winner in organ at the renowned international ARD Music Competition. In 1974, after spending three years directing the choir at Saint Lorenz Basilica in Kempten, Gerhard Weinberger assumed a teaching post in organ and church music at the Munich Musikhochschule. He was Professor of Organ there from 1977 to 1983. Currently he is Professor of Organ and Director of the Church Music Department at the Hochschule für Musik in Detmold, Germany. He is a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts, and of the Leipzig New Bach Society directorate. Gerhard Weinberger's wide repertoire ranges from pre-Baroque to music of the 20th century, with a special emphasis on the works of J.S. Bach and Max Reger. He has given recitals throughout Europe, Asia and America. amazon

MAX REGER — Organ Works Vol. 6 (Gerhard Weinberger) 2CD (2019) SACD Hybrid | FLAC (tracks), lossless

Our successful Reger edition now once again continues, and the critics continue to be more than enthusiastic about the volumes released to date. Musik & Theater has even claimed, 'These recordings number among the best releases currently available in the field of Reger’s organ music'. And Vol. 6 again presents two SACDs in the best Surround Sound. The thirty little chorale preludes for the most familiar numbers in the Chorales op. 135a, composed by Reger expressly with the organist’s traditional duties in mind, occupy the center stage. A glance at the countless pieces of so-called practical liturgical music composed before and after Reger demonstrates that the quality of this collection can hardly be overestimated, given the fact that it offers what might be termed 'Reger en miniature'. The wealth of the compositional ideas selected by him justifies the presentation of op. 135a in its entirety. amazon
