About this product
Friedrich Wilhelm Markull began his career as a child prodigy and was appointed to the post of organist at Danzig's magnificent St. Mary's Church when he was only twenty years old. At the time Danzig's music culture was completely decimated, but during the next fifty years of his active life as a musician he managed to revitalize it. Andrzej Szadejko's second album featuring compositions written by the industrious Baltic composer for himself and his Danzig pupils once again brings to light a previously virtually unknown chapter of music history. A good many of Markull's organ compositions must have been written for his own very practical performance goals and for the encouragement of his organ pupils. The organ in St. Mary's Church, an instrument with more than fifty stops on three manuals, offered ample opportunities for the realization of the romantic organ sound. Andrzej Szadejko has found an outstanding replacement for the early romantic Danzig instrument, which was completely destroyed during World War II, in the very expertly restored Buchholz organ in Stralsund's St. Nicholas Church.

Heinrich Scheidemann was highly esteemed already during his lifetime and so famous that he could afford to have a copperplate engraving made of his portrait. During the transition between the Renaissance and the Early Baroque he founded his fame above all on the elegant writing style of his compositions, which even today appeals to a broad public. Hilger Kespohl has selected works from the comprehensive oeuvre of this Hamburg master for the present album, and on the incomparable Arp Schnitger organ in Hamburg-Neuenfelde this richly varied musical portrait shines in all it's glory. Scheidemann learned his trade from Sweelinck. Back in Hamburg, he combined his teacher's secular tradition- in Calvinist Amsterdam, Sweelinck mostly performed concerts outside the liturgy- with the requirements of the Lutheran religious service. And so it is not surprising that Scheidemann above all produced works with liturgical associations. These chorale variations number among the first great highpoints in the genre. However, Scheidemann also looked beyond the Hanseatic city's borders Inchintabulations,Inch transfers of motets by others to the organ, belonged to the duties of this church musician- just listen to the ravishing beauty of InchVerbum caro factum estInch after Hans Leo Hassler. His occupation with Dowland's InchPavana LachrimaeInch also displays an inquisitiveness far beyond the call of duty.
