Frédéríc Chopin
24 Préludes op. 28
Gunther Rost
Seifert Organ of the Kevelaer Church of the Virgin Mary
As with all cycles from this age that systematically
traverse the circle of fifths, Chopin’s 24 Préludes op.
28 are written in the tradition of J.S. Bach. It is no
wonder that this work holds a very special attraction
for organists. In the past, Chopin Préludes have often
been adapted for organ – and sometimes greatly
changed. Gunther Rost takes another path in this recording.
He plays the unchanged musical text of the
original versions for piano, replicating the diversity of
the composer’s dynamic markings by the use of imaginative
registrations. The instrument heard on this
recording offers possibly the best conditions of all:
the Seifert organ in the Church of the Virgin Mary in
Kevelaer has over 135 registers, making it the largest
romantic German organ in the world.
With this release, Gunther Rost continues his series
of organ transcriptions, which includes a recording of the Goldberg Variations as well as one of six
instrumental concertos by Antonio Vivaldi.
