Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck is one of the principal composers in the 16th- and 17th-century Holland. As far as we know, Sweelinck only left Holland on one time. Nevertheless his works show Italien/Venetian influences, English/virginalist elements and knowledge of spanish composers. The growing cultural importance of Amsterdam in Sweelinck´s day probalbly explain his knowledge of contemporary European music. At the beginning of the 17th century, many organists travelled not only from Germany but also Poland and Sweden to Amsterdam to study under the famous Sweelinck. Later his Hamburg pupils Heinrich Scheidemann and Jacob Praetorius founded a sort of ‘Sweelinck outpost’ in Hamburg. They passed on their pupils what they have learned in Amsterdam. Léon Berben plays the pieces of Sweelincks und his pupils brilliantly at St. Jaque’s Church in Liège. This organ was reconstructed in the style of the late 16th century, following Sweelinck´s large organ in Amsterdam. RK 2205 | edition raumklang | Total: 67:32 |

There are a number of recordings of the choral partita ‘Ach wie nichtig, ach wie flüchtig’ by Georg Böhm (1666-1733), including one on the great Arp Schnitger city organ in Hamburg (1693), 57 voices, beautifully played by Stef Tuinstra. The version heard here is played on Arp Schnitger’s smallest organ positiv, 8 voices, but it offers enough variation to register the 8 variations in a diverse manner. The suite in A Minor ‘Melpomene’ by Johann Kaspar Ferdinand Fischer (1665-1746) is taken from his Musikalischer Parnassus (1738). Melpomene was the muse of song and tragedy. The stylised dances are a slow Allemande, the fast Passepied, a Rondeau, alternately a refrain and a verse, a Chaconne, variations based on a descending series of 4 tones and finally a fast Gigue. The Fantasia on the hexachord Vt Re Mi Fa Sol La by Johann Jakob Froberger (1616-1667) was already a famous work during his lifetime., Athenasius Kirchner mentions the work in his Masurgia (1646) and it was published in an autograph in 1649. The seven parts of the work bring the hexachord in various rhythms and with various second voices. In the sixth and seventh parts he adds chromatic tones, thus deftly exploiting the meantone temperament in the strong effect of dissonants and consonants. A true masterpiece. Johann Jakob Froberger (1616-1667) wrote the Tombeau on the death of the lute player Blancheroche in Paris and added the following remark: ‘fait à Paris sur la mort de Monsieur Blancheroche: lequel se joue fort lentement à la discretion sans observer aucune mesure.’ The improvisational character of the piece strongly resembles the Preludes non mésuree by Louis Couperin, whom Froberger met in Paris in 1652. A striking feature of this work is its exploitation of the meantone temperament, e.g. Froberger twice prescribes a D flat for where a C sharp is tuned, using the dissonant here as an expressive device. The Preludium is one of the great free forms in keyboard music. Of Hans Kotter (1485-1541) we hear an early example, here called Proömium in re. Kotter was a pupil of Paulus Hofhaymer, the most important ‘Organistenmacher’ of the 16th century, just as Sweelinck was in the 17th century. The original of the Giusti instrument is now in the Tagliavini collection in Bologna/Italy. |

The number of interpretations of this work, ranging from symphonic to progressive rock and jazz, show what a masterwork of cultural history this composition is. In this new version, Cittadin plays the organ of St. Elizabeth’s church in Basel and Tarr plays percussion instruments such as Baroque timpani, side drums, cymbals and triangle.
Dass die »Bilder einer Ausstellung« ein Meisterwerk der Kulturgeschichte sind, davon zeugen schon die unzähligen Neuversionen des genialen Solopianostücks von Modest Mussorgsky. Die Interpretationen der Bilder reichen von Maurice Ravels symphonischem Feuerwerk bis zu progressiven Rock-, Synthesizer-, und Kammerjazzversionen der letzten 40 Jahre.
Nicola Cittadin und Philip Tarr offerieren nun ihre Neubearbeitung, gespielt an der Orgel der Kirche Elisabethen in Basel und begleitet von Schlaginstrumenten wie Barockpauken, Militärtrommeln, Becken und Triangel als eine Promenade von den Kosaken nach Kiew, von Modest zu Miles Davis. |

Sebastian Knebel spielt an den Orgeln der Kirchen von Untergneus, Wohlmuthausen, Friedelshausen und Gräfenhain
Zahlreiche barocke Orgeln haben auf dem Thüringer Land die letzten Jahrhunderte schadlos überstanden. In der stilsicheren Interpretation von Sebastian Knebel erklingen Werke von J. S. Bach, Johann Pachelbel und Heinrich Buttstedt ganz authentisch auf wunderbaren Kleinoden der Barockzeit.
Sebastian Knebel zeigte früh Interesse für Orgelmusik und Orgelbau. Er absolvierte neben einer Lehre als Orgelbauer eine C-Kirchenmusikerausbildung: in dieser Zeit spielte er zahlreiche Orgelvertretungen an Berliner Kirchen (u. a. Dauervertretung am Französischen Dom). Er studierte in Dresden und Weimar Kirchenmusik und beschäftigte sich eingehend mit dem Spiel auf historischen Tasteninstrumenten. Darüber hinaus studierte er bei Ludger Rémy und belegte Kurse zur historischen Aufführungspraxis u. a. bei Harald Vogel und Ton Koopmann. Er engagierte sich für den Erhalt vom Verfall bedrohter historischer Orgeln, besonders in Thüringen. Von 1995 bis 2000 war er als Cembalist des Telemann Kammerorchesters tätig, seit 2001 ist er Cembalist des Telemannschen Collegium Michaelstein. Außerdem verfolgt er eine umfangreiche freiberufliche Konzerttätigkeit als Organist, Cembalist und Hammerflügelspieler. Er steht in ständiger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Körnerschen Singverein Dresden. Konzertreisen führen ihn u. a. nach Frankreich, Polen, Tschechien, England und die USA.

Naji Hakim and Marie-Bernadette Dufourcet (organ)
Naji Hakim returns to disc on Signum with a new and powerful collection of his own organ works. Hakim is joined by Marie-Bernadette Dufource for the central piece of the programme, a set of meditation for two organists inspired by Lucas Cranach the Elder's woodcuts of the Apostles.
Completed in 2000, the Schuke Organ of the Palacio Euskalduna is housed in a magnificent concert hall of wood and steel - itself inspired by the Euskulduna shipyards that once occupied the area. A modern instrument, it is well-suited to the nuanced voicings of modern organ compositions, as a well as being sympathetic and adaptable to the great works of the past. |
