Music from the Dresden Castle Chapel - Hassler, Weckmann, Scheidemann, etc / Sebastian Knebel

Notes & Reviews:

The seventeenth-century Coswig organ and the embellished interior of the Alte Kirche form a wonderful ensemble - one can hear the harmony between them on this CD. Since this is the only surviving organ from this period in the environs of Dresden, it seemed obvious to look to the Dresden court when selecting the pieces for the program. The names Hans Leo Hassler, Johann Klemm, and Matthias Weckmann were associated with organ music in Dresden in the seventeenth century. Moreover, the cosmopolitan Dresden court attracted other well-known musicians, for example, Johann Jakob Froberger. On the occasion of Froberger's visit, a competition was organized at court between him and Matthias Weckmann, from which both emerged victorious.
