Mendelssohn Even More Complete!
padMendelssohn Even More Complete!
pad
Containing 24 works on 3-CDs, this set must be the most complete of all claiming completeness in Mendelssohn’s organ works (a close contender is John Scott’s fine 2-CD set containing 16 works). Based on the complete works published by Bärenreiter in 1993-‘94 (also available from OHS), it includes recently discovered works. The multi-talented French virtuoso Jean-Baptiste Robin plays three Gottfried Silbermann organs in Rötha and Freiberg and the Johann Andreas Engelhardt organ (1845) in Herzberg-am-Harz. The excellent booklet includes notes on each work, an essay on the organs, their relevance to Mendelssohn, and their stoplists. Click the headline for titles and to order.

2-CD set for the Price of One James Hammann plays all six of the sonatas, op. 65, the Three Preludes & Fugues, op. 37, and other works in exploration of Mendelssohn's own preference of organ style as built by the Stumm dynasty of builders in Germany in the late 18th century, striking in the Adagio movement of the F-minor Organ Sonata, Op. 65, No. 1, and otherwise, too. Reviews The Organ, "organ and organist combine to form what I feel is the perfect Mendelssohn experience."

These famous recordings of all six sonatas (Op. 65) have received the highest praise for the playing, sound, and the magnificent organs in Boston: the 3m E. & G. G. Hook of 1854 at the Hook brothers’ home church and the wonderful 1857 W. B. D. Simmons 2m at Most Holy Redeemer Church. These two beautiful organs, entirely intact and almost contemporaneous to the sonatas, represent more than any other extant organ, anywhere, the sounds heard when these works were introduced to a spellbound England.
