Aria mit 30 Veränderungen aus dem „IV. Teil der Clavier-Übung“ BWV 988
An Organ Arrangement by Hansjörg Albrecht
Hansjörg Albrecht, organ of the Stiftskirche Bad Gandersheim (D)
Hansjörg Albrecht had a surprise success with his spectacular arrangement
of scenes from Wagner’s “Ring”. Now, he is presenting his own arrangement
of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. The colors he conjures from the score at the
console of the new Mühleisen organ in Bad Gandersheim are amazing, as is
the virtuosity with which he transfers even the most complicated figuration to
the instrument. Hansjörg Albrecht’s career as both an organist and conductor
is steadily rising: since September 2005 he has been the artistic director of the
Münchener Bach-Chor, originally founded by Karl Richter. He has guest conducted
such ensembles as the Bavarian State Orchestra, the Munich RSO and
the Neue Elbland Philharmonie. He has a superlative reputation as an organist
and harpsichordist in Germany, Europe as well as in Israel, Japan and the USA.
