Remarks:

This SACD is an introduction to the nearly forgotten tradition of ensemble performance with violin and a large (church) organ. Besides the accompaniment of the congregational singing, great church organs primarily have a soloistic function in today’s musical practice. For performances of cantatas and oratorios, chest organs are usually employed today. The situation was very different in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries! The organists on the large organs in the municipal churches of northern Germany had to be able to play together with other instruments and small ensembles. The program of this CD includes music for violin and organ as it was heard in northern and central Germany.
