Schiager Halgeir Bj Rn Boysen - Organ Works 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Halgeir Schiager - Organ Works 2 [COMPACT DISCS] date 08/17/2009

In all three of these sonatas by composer Karl Wolfrum a heterogeneous approach is taken. Technically, the works follow Bach, dramatically, the narrative concepts of the New German School and in terms of sound and aesthetics, a subtle use of the instrument's solo voices and dynamic differentiation. Oehms Classics now presents a 2011 recording with Norwegian organist Halgeir Schiager.

Christian Fink's organ works include 5 sonatas, 2 fantasias [and a double fugue], 5 preludes [and a fugue], 30 chorale preludes and around 100 free recital pieces. His work lies in the temporal arc between the organ sonatas of Felix Mendelssohn and the chorale fantasias of Max Reger. During his training, Fink wrote, among other things, numerous fugues as study works for his tone-setting class; he kept a workbook for this purpose but did not take these pieces into account in his opus numbering.
