Choral Variations by Augustinus Franz Kropfeiter Four chorales form the basis of this recording of readings and musical variations related to the theme of death. The pieces were written in 1961 and 1964. Dramatic and highly evocative readings of the texts are performed by Romuald Pekny before each set of variations. Two organists perform separately, but both play the 4-103 Bruckner organ in St. Florian’s Church near Linz, Austria. Andreas Etlinger plays Ich wollt, dass ich daheime wär Der grimmig Tod mit seinem Pfeil Klaus Sonnleitner plays Wenn mein Stündlein vorhanden ist Ach wie nichtig, ach wie flüchtig German Language
