Britta Schwarz – Alt
The seventeenth-century Coswig organ and the embellished interior of the Alte Kirche form a wonderful ensemble – one can hear the harmony between them on this CD. Since this is the only surviving organ from this period in the environs of Dresden, it seemed obvious to look to the Dresden court when selecting the pieces for the program. The names Hans Leo Hassler, Johann Klemm, and Matthias Weckmann were associated with organ music in Dresden in the seventeenth century. Moreover, the cosmopolitan Dresden court attracted other well-known musicians, for example, Johann Jakob Froberger.
With the well-thought-out Dresden program, Sebastian Knebel explores the tonal nuances of the restored Coswig organ and rounds off the program with selected pieces for harpsichord.
