Synopsis

Product Description
After Buxtehude, Tunder, Reinken, Bruhns, Scheidemann and Böhm, Bernard Foccroulle pursues his exploration of the repertoire of the organists of northern Germany before Bach, with the works of Matthias Weckmann. Trained in the entourage of Schu¨tz and having perfect mastery of the profession of Sweelincks heirs and all aspects of the Italian style, this composer compels recognition as the keystone in the generation preceding Buxtehudes. The repertoire tackles the free forms of the new stylus fantasticus but also proposes different forms of pieces inspired by chorale tunes, including two monumental fantasias in several sections. Bernard Foccroulle made this recording on three historic organs: in Hollern, Stade, and primarily on the recently restored organ of the Katharinen Kirche in Hamburg. This constitutes an event that will enchant enthusiasts! Let us recall that, with this double album, Ricercar can offer its faithful public the complete works of Matthias Weckmann, the cantatas having been recorded by the Ricercar Consort (RIC 216), and the instrumental music by La Fenice and the harpsichordist Siebe Henstra (RIC 282).
