Niklas Jahn - Niklas Jahn Organ Laureate Recital - First Prize, 9th International Organ Competition Musashino-Tokyo 2023 (J.S. Bach; Brahms; Hosokawa; Messiaen; Szathmary; Vierne)

Niklas Jahn, winner of the 9th International Organ Competition Musashino-Tokyo in 2023, was appointed organist at the Frauenkirche in Dresden in December 2024, the site of an acclaimed concert by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1736. This album features two works by Bach, including the monumental Toccata and Fugue in F major, as well as Toshio Hosokawa's celestial Cloudscape, and the ultra-virtuosic Feuertaufe by Zsigmond Szathmary. French repertoire by Messiaen and Vierne can also be heard alongside Brahms whose Chorale Preludes are among the last pieces he composed.
