Leon Berben - Hiernoymus Praetorius: Organ Works

Hieronymus Praetorius (1560-1629) stands at the beginning of the North German organ school and is an important representative of the German-Venetian school, not least with vocal works. His organ music is no less attractive and significant, since it has not yet completed the development of the 'Sweelinck School'.

Admittedly, several practical performance questions arise, especially concerning the choice of registrations, to which Leon Berben would like to give an answer with this recording.

The choice of the two historical organs of Langwarden (1650) and Lemgo (1613), two instruments best suited for 16th century music, rounds off this absolutely sound new recording.
