Chorale Fantasias by Alfred Koerppen: the new disc by Ulfert Smidt, organist at the Marktkirche Hannover, not only features contemporary organ music, but is a vignette of work-in-progress between composer and performer. As the title suggests, the CD focusses on chorale-based compositions, ordered here according to the liturgical year. Koerppen\u2019s works retain the sacred context of an organ tradition which upholds an artistically highly demanding middle-ground, stretched out between the extremes of purely functional liturgical and experimental organ music. Ulfert Smidt studied the music together with Alfred Koerppen intensively, discussed interpretative approaches with him, and coordinated their visions for the works\u2019 sound. The tempos, phrasings, and registrations chosen by Smidt make ideal use of the instrument\u2019s specification, and allow the Marktkirche\u2019s Goll-Organ to resound in splendour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
