About

Works by the Bach family, Mendelssohn and two rarities by Pachaly and Markull on a valuable late-baroque, recently-restored organ near Leipzig.

The focus of this recording is the organ of the St. Lukaskirche in Krippehna, built by Johann Ernst Hähnel in 1771 and restored by the organ workshop Kristian Wegscheider in 2015-2018, the tonal and technical concept of which determines the selection of the pieces.

The disposition, which is still very classic at heart and almost conservative in its very high, glossy mixes, contains sensitive sounding flutes 8’ and 4’ as well as an Unda Maris 8’, which evokes some memories of organs from the Casparini family.

In addition to works by Johann Sebastian and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, all of whom worked in Leipzig, not far from Krippehna, the CD contains two rarities from the 19th century by Traugott Immanuel Pachaly (organist in Schmiedeberg, now Kowary in Poland) and Friedrich Wilhelm Markull (Marienorganist in Gdańsk).

An organ presentation by Krzysztof Urbaniak also highlights the tonal possibilities and peculiarities of the registers.
