"“Thanks to subtle inventiveness and diligent reflection, the organ has reached such a state of perfection that it lacks nothing; it needs no further experimentation or development at all,” wrote the famous German composer and music theorist Michael Praetorius in 1619. Many composers, from the North Sea to the Baltic, celebrated the great richness of this instrument: his homonym Hieronymus Praetorius, Dietrich Buxtehude, but also Tunder, Weckmann, Leyding, Druckenmüller, Hanff and Bruhns, helped to build up a dedicated repertoire, thus giving rise, between the 16th and 18th centuries, to a true North German organ tradition.
This programme was recorded in Dübendorf, Switzerland, on an organ built by Bernhardt Edskes. Dirk Trüten pays a vibrant tribute here to a heritage that was to inspire J. S. Bach, amongst others, and which reveals the beauty of this fascinating instrument. "
"L’orgue est une des plus habiles manifestations de l’ingéniosité et du raffinement de l’homme, ainsi que le souligne dès 1619 Michael Praetorius, célèbre compositeur et théoricien de musique allemand . Nombreux sont les compositeurs qui ont mis à l’honneur la richesse de cet instrument : de la mer du Nord à la mer Baltique, Hieronymus Praetorius, Dietrich Buxtehude mais aussi Tunder, Weckmann, Leyding, Druckenmüller, Hanff ou encore Bruhns ont œuvré à l’édification d’un répertoire dédié, actant ainsi la naissance d’une véritable tradition d’orgue nord-germanique entre les XVIe et le XVIIIe siècles.
Dans ce programme où les lignes s’entremêlent, enregistré sur un orgue de Bernhardt Edskes à Dübendorf, Dirk Trüten rend un vibrant hommage à cet héritage, qui inspirera notamment Johann Sebastian Bach, pour dévoiler à l’auditeur la beauté de cet instrument fascinant. "
