about this recording:
The organ plays song-like and lovely, sweet, useful [sic!], humble; it is fickle, requires practiced musicians, accompanies voices and choir, leaps and is quick (with hands that are also so), etc. so the Latin text of the “Laus organi” by Kodaly. The choir and organ transverse under Dietrich Ehrenwerth a wide range of different characteristic portrayals of the organ – played by Matthias Dreißig – with everything however leading into a great praise of God. The choir’s home is the Augustinian Monastery in which Martin Luther lived from 1505-1511, and the organ of this church – built in 1938 by Walcker – was new restored up to the recordings.
