Volker Nemmer - Tierisch - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Lars Bjorling writes of his new tribute InchWhen my Father Jussi was chosen as the 20th century's leading male opera singer by English music critics at the turn of the century, we felt great joy and pride in the family. From my very early age I experienced singing and music at home, but most of all, I remember visiting the Opera house when Father sang. A strong memory was La boheme. I tried to hide my tears trickling down the cheek in the last act. Already at the age of four to five, my Father and his brothers began to learn the essentials of the art of singing under my grandfather David's solid guidance.Inch Utilizing David Bjorling's singing technique, Lars brilliantly presents here a wide array of opera works and art songs.

Andreas Willscher is counted among the most valued German composers of his time. Here we hear some quite unusual organ works that are easy and enjoyable to listen to.

From 1983-1996 he was organist and choir director at the Evangelical Lutheran St. John's Church in Baden-Baden, and from 1988-1992 organist at the Lutheran City Church in Vienna-Innere Stadt. In 1996/1997 he served as cantor at the Altstadtkirche Gelsenkirchen. He has been a freelance artist since 1998.
