The Red Album - Das Rote Album. Hits for Organ I (Collection)

Das Rote Album. Hits for Organ I

In all ages organists have known how to transcribe popular pieces for their instrument from the entire spectrum of music and to play effectively to the gallery. The volume "Hits for organ I" with organ transcriptions is a charming collection of popular works such as Vivaldi's Spring, Schubert's Ave Maria, Mendelssohn's Wedding March, Tchaikovsky's Chansons triste or Fauré's Pavane. One encounters plush and pomp, the deeply serious and the glamorous, works for the church and for the circus, for the organist playing them and for the whole world. A most attractive enrichment of the organ repertoire.

The second volume The green Album. Hits for organ II (Carus 18.089) adds further highlights to this programme.
