Markus Kaufmann In Love

Markus Kaufmann’s debut album as organist at Leipzig’s Nikolaikirche tells stories of love with pieces by composers such as Edward Elgar, Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Liszt, Robert Schumann and Edvard Grieg. Each of the pieces describes the love and emotions of its creator in its own way: be it the “Salut d’amour”, which Elgar dedicated to his piano student and later wife Caroline Alice, or Liszt’s “Liebestraum” on a passionate poem by Ferdinand Freiligrath, in which love determines life and death. Markus Kaufmann skilfully brings all these facets of love to life on the Ladegast-Eule organ.
