Expeditionskonzert mit Joana Mallwitz
Anton Bruckner was considered one of the greatest organists of his time: “Nothing like this had ever been heard before,” César Franck, perhaps the greatest organ composer of his time, recalled of Bruckner's organ playing in Paris in 1869. However, Bruckner excelled above all as an improviser, while he made virtually no appearance as an organ composer or performer. Bruckner's surviving organ pieces, on the other hand, are merely study works from his early period, and there are also some improvisation sketches which give an idea that Bruckner thought of the organ as a symphonic composer in the same way as he did when preparing his large orchestral scores. Organ arrangements of his symphonies can therefore also be a way of approaching the organist Bruckner. With his complete recording of the Bruckner symphonies, Hansjörg Albrecht has now joined the ranks of prominent Bruckner interpreters as an organist! The exciting program is complemented by a “Bruckner Window” by the Munich composer Enjott Schneider.
