Hieronymus Praetorius stands at the beginning of the North German organ school and is an important representative of the German-Venetian school, not least with his vocal works. His organ music is particularly interesting and appealing because it has not yet undergone the development of the InchAmsterdam-Hamburg Sweelinck SchoolInch and therefore many performance-practical aspects are not yet clearly outlined. This raises a number of performance-practical questions, not least concerning the choice of registrations, to which Léon Berben would like to provide an answer with this recording. The choice of the two historic organs from Langwarden (1650) and Lemgo (1613) - two instruments ideally suited for 16th century music, of which there are hardly any recordings so far - complete the impression of an absolutely sound new recording.

Léon Berben can be considered a master of his trade on the harpsichord and organ. Furthermore, his extensive knowledge of music history and historical performance practice make him one of the leading figures of his generation in the Inchearly musicInch scene. His repertoire includes keyboard works from 1550 to 1790 and he also co-authored the encyclopedia InchDie Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart.Inch Intensive study of sources and constant research work give the art of interpretation of Léon Berben a special status. His solo recordings on historical organs and harpsichords have been highly praised by the specialist press and have received several awards, including the InchDiapason d'OrInch, the InchChocInch of InchLe Monde de la MusiqueInch and the quarterly InchPreis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.Inch On his latest recording he plays the complete organ works by Matthias Weckmann.
