V4: NORTHGERMAN ORGAN MUSIC -

Martin Rost’s tour of the illustrious centers of Northern German organ music now takes us to the baroque splendor of Lüneburg. Even though the glory of this proud city not far from Hamburg was beginning to fade, the renown of its musicians continued to extend to faraway Thuringia when Johann Sebastian Bach – then not quite fifteen years old – set out to complete his musical studies there. Martin Rost’s selection of compositions recorded on his Stellwagen organ demonstrates that a trip to Lüneburg can be rewarding even today.
