Polish historic organ in Olkusz and Pasłęk
Let us go back in time to the north Germany of XVII century. In the hustle and bustle of hanseatic towns and among the working class of „sea people” organ music can be heard in beautiful Baroque temples. It was here where the greatest German organists composed their virtuoso pieces. One could hear cantatas and preludes of Franz Tunder and Dietrich Buxtehude during Abendmusiken concerts held at the St. Mary’s Church in Lübeck, and the sounds of splendid chorale fantasias of Heinrich Scheidemann and Johann Adam Reincken resonated in the St. Catherine’s Church in Hamburg.
Having been inspired by rich, north European music culture and organ works of the XVII century composers active in Schleswig-Holstein area, I would like to present You my second CD solo album – Polish historic organ in Olkusz and Pasłęk
(Polskie, historyczne organy w Olkuszu i Pasłęku). This project is also an outcome of my interest in early music and summary of many years of my studies in Musikhochschule in Lübeck and Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.
After many months of research for the purpose of the recording I chose two out-standing, restored instruments: the oldest organ in Poland, built by Hum-mel/Nitrowski in Olkusz (1633) and the organ built by Hildebrandt in Pasłęk (1717-1719). The CD includes collection of carefully selected organ pieces of the composers from XVII century, who represent north German organ school: Heinrich Scheide-mann, Franz Tunder, Johann Adam Reincken, Vincent Lübeck, Dieterich Buxtehude and Nicolaus Bruhns.
