Marguste / Maidre / Uusval - Works for Organ - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Rudolf Tobias (1873-1918) Founded the Classical-Music Tradition in Estonia Almost Single-Handedly, Writing the First Estonian Orchestral Piece, the First Estonian String Quartet, First Estonian Piano Concerto and the First Estonian Oratorio, the Monumental Des Jona Sendung, from Which Ines Maidre Has Now Transcribed for Organ the Blazingly Powerful Sanctus. Although Tobias Was Himself An Outstanding Organist, He Wrote Little Music for His Own Instrument and Most of It Is Modest in Scale, But It's Quirky Craftsmanship Reveals the Hand of a Master.

In his short life (1839-72) Eduard Adolf Tod garnered a reputation as one of the finest organists of the day Liszt praised his playing, and he gave a recital in the Royal Albert Hall in the very year of it's opening. Most of Tod's handful of works for the organ - solo and as a duo partner - have not been recorded before; here they are joined by three other little-known German organ sonatas to give an overview of the genre as it evolved from it's well-behaved Mendelssohnian origins into late-Romantic grandeur. International organ virtuoso Dr Jan Lehtola is one the most successful and progressive Finnish organists of his generation. He has appeared with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Tapiola Sinfonietta, the Lahti Symphony, Tampere Philharmonic and Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestras and the St. Michel Strings. He has performed at many international festivals, including the Lahti Organ Festival, Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival, and the annual Festival of New Organ Music in London. He has worked with conductors including Kent Nagano, Juha Kangas, Sakari Oramo, Muhai Tang and Osmo Vänskä, amongst others. Dr Lehtola has also given recitals in leading European concert halls such as Gewandhaus in Leipzig and cathedrals and churches such as La Trinité in Paris, St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey in London.
