About

This is the fourth and final volume in the series of recordings by the Norwegian organist Terje Wing entitled ‘Organum Norvegica’, and presents music by Ritter, Schumann, and Reger, performed on the Carsten Lund organ at the Bragernes Kirke in Drammen.

Robert Schumann's Sechs Fugen über BACH für Orgel oder Pedalflügel, Op.60 was composed in 1845. The four-note motif has been used by numerous composers (not least by J S Bach himself) both before and after.

Ritter's
Sonata No.3 in A minor (of four) was written in 1855. This grandiose and virtuosic work was dedicated to Franz Liszt; the two knew each other well, and Liszt admired Ritter's organ playing.

Max Reger
, although a devout catholic, produced many chorale-inspired organ works. Ein feste Burg was performed for the first time in September 1898 by Karl Straube, to whom the work is dedicated.
