CPO Praetorius: Organ Works

Product Description On volume 9 in cpo's on-going series featuring the organ music of the Northern German Baroque, Friedhelm Flamme interprets works by one of the most esteemed Hamburg musicians of his time' Hieronymus Praetorius.The Magnificat cycles recorded here in full are based on the eight church modes of the particular Magnificat tones then in use in Hamburg. In contrast to Praetorius' practice in his vocal Magnificat compositions, his organ works display a freer part writing style. Review 'Friedhelm Flamme is an excellent advocate, who is clearly as much at home with this organ as he is with the music.' ***** --Choir & Organ, January/February 2013
