Carl Loewe and the organ – this combination may astonish many music lovers today since Loewe is known almost exclusively as the master of the ballad. For several decades now, however, musicians and musicologists have endeavoured to examine the breadth of Loewe's work and influence. Organ music has not left many traces in his oeuvre, even though he played the organ from a very young age and held a longstanding tenure as Music Director of the town Stettin and Cantor and Organist at St Jacob's Church there.
Used on this recording, the organ in the town church St. Petri in Löbejün, Loewe's native town, was built in 1901 by the renowned organ builder Wilhelm Rühlmann from Zörbig. It stands on the west gallery and is designed as a pneumatic organ with 22 stops on two manuals and a pedal. It is the successor of the organ built by David Beck in 1591, where Carl Loewe received his first organ lessons from his father. The Rühlmann Organ with its warm, fundamental sound and its orientation towards the late romantic sound ideal would have been a feast for the ears of the romantic Carl Loewe.
