MusingMuso Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I came across a rather exciting fugue which doesn't "sound" unplayable, but which deserves to be better known IMHO. The Fugue is by Josef Trompke, and an excellent performance of it may be heard, played by the German organist Gunther Rost, at the following:- http://www.gunther-rost.de/ Click on "samples" and scroll down. It's also a good site on which to hear some of Petr Eben's organ-music; especially the splendid "Moto Ostinato" from the "Dominicus Musicalis" (formerly known as Sunday Music). The organ is by Schuke, Potsdam, and sound quite splendid. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vox Humana Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 That fugue really is rather good. Doesn't sound all that easy though! Nice organ too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusingMuso Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Until to-day, I had regarded Willhelm Middelschulte as something of a one-trick-pony with that "Perpetually Unplayable" pedal solo work. I am often overwhelmed by the breadth and depth of my own ignorance, which took a particularly nasty turn to-day, when I discovered that the great man (who taught Virgil Fox) actually wrote other music for organ, which sounds amazingly Reger-esque. Somewhere buried among the details at the following link, is a smidgin' of one of the works:- http://www.cybele.de/shop/product_info.php?products_id=10 I still think it sounds as if one needs at least shin-pads and other protective safety-gear in order to avoid personal injury when performing it, but it sounds quite impressive nonetheless. Super organ! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
