Hugo Distler's contribution to Lutheran church music of the twentieth century can hardly be overestimated. His clear musical language marked by lightness and transparency has influenced generations of church musicians and composers. With the Norddeutscher Kammerchor in top form, Maria Jürgensen has now recorded a program with works from Distler's Liturgische Sätzend as a complementary contrast - Hans-Werner Zimmermann's jazz-inspired chorale variations Distler's Nürnberger Großes Gloria. The Liturgische Sätze (Liturgical Settings) are based on original Lutheran melodies from the Reformation period.

Bach's trio sonatas, originally written as teaching pieces for his eldest son Wilhelm Friedemann, show Johann Sebastian Bach at the zenith of his compositional art: three independent parts engage in a captivating dialogue, combining cantabile melody lines with a skilful yet natural-sounding counterpoint - all embedded in an experimental formal design with balanced proportions.Martin Neu embraces this core repertoire with his lively and eloquent interpretation on the Ahrend Organ in Herzogenaurach. The unusual directness and proximity to the pipework of the organ, combined with excellent acoustics, create a unique sound experience. For the first time, this is also available in immersive Dolby Atmos - a sonic innovation allowing the music to be experienced with unprecedented intensity.

This recording gathers, for the first time[1], the complete original compositions for the organ by Giacomo Puccini (Lucca, December 22, 1858 – Brussels, November 29, 1924), collected and published in 2017 under the guidance of Virgilio Bernardoni in volume II/2.1 of the National Edition of Giacomo Puccini’s Works (Carus-Verlag 56.003).
It is thanks to the musicological efforts of the Giacomo Puccini Study Center in Lucca that, between 2015 and 2017, many of these compositions for the organ resurfaced. They had been scattered across various collections. Altogether, there are 57 pieces composed between 1870 and 1880, during the period when the young music student served as an organist in Lucca and neighboring towns.

* A close contemporary of Buxtehude, Johann Pachelbel was, by all accounts, an outstanding keyboard player himself, and his compositions provide a fascinating stylistic bridge between early-Baroque composers such as Frescobaldi and Froberger (both of whom influenced him) and the later music of J.S. Bach and his contemporaries. * Organist Matthew Owens continues his major exploration of the many extant organ works of Pachelbel with this third volume, recorded on the Flentrop organ of Dunblane Cathedral, Scotland. * This album explores Johann Pachelbel's improvisational techniques and compositions, highlighting his use of variation, counterpoint, and chorale preludes. It features preludes, fugues, ricercars, and variations that showcase his mastery and educational methods.

Kaunista, hoitavaa, elämäniloista, suloista! Tällaisia adjektiiveja nousee mieleeni Gottfried August Homiliuksen musiikkia pohtiessani, soittaessani ja kuunnellessani. Homiliuksen maallinen vaellus ajoittuu vuosien 1714-1785 välille. Dresdenissä kirkkomuusikkona elämäntyönsä tehnyttä Homiliusta pidettiin suuressa arvossa elämänsä aikana ja vielä 1800-luvun lopulla hänen musiikkinsa oli hyvin suosittua. Häntä kutsuttiin jopa ”kirkollisen musiikin parhaaksi säveltäjäksi”. Hiljalleen Homiliuksen musiikki painui unohduksiin, mutta ihmiskunnan iloksi sitä on alettu löytämään viime vuosikymmeninä uudestaan. Hänen tuotantonsa koostuu lähes täysin kirkkomusiikista ja siihen kuuluu lukuisia motetteja, kantaatteja ja passioita.
