In the German village of Rysum, in East Frisia, a precious instrument is preserved: an ancient organ, built in 1442/1513, which still has most of the original pipes. Lorenzo Ghielmi and the vocal ensemble Biscantores presents a sort of "organ Mass", where organ pieces and liturgical chant alternate according to the practice of the time. A journey between the late Middle Ages and the dawn of the Renaissance this is how you could describe the musical programme of this CD, set up in collaboration with the musicologist Konrad Küster, which perfectly illustrates the unique sounds of this instrument.
