Joseph Jongen Meditation, op.21 (cor anglais and organ)

[@heikemariadroste]

The "Meditation, op.21 by Joseph Jongen (1873-1953) English horn and organ from St Peter Lutheran Church in Pechory (a town near the Estonian border) is played with great devotion, great soulfulness and deep passion. Beautiful music with an inner balance and liveliness excellently played by German Buller (English horn) and Mikhail Mishchenko (organ). I like the gentle, soft and also lively tone colours of the Kriisa organ, built in 1928 by the Estonian organ builder Kriisa. A very multi-layered piece with charm and drama! It was a great pleasure to listen to, thank you very much. Very atmospheric pictures accompany the music, very beautiful, impressive!
