Composer: Johann Gottfried Müthel
Artists: Matteo Venturini
The last pupil of the great Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Gottfried Müthel is said to have been present at the composer’s deathbed, and to have performed his duties as Cantor for the weeks following his passing. He is also credited for notating a number of Bach’s final works.
Given this most illustrious of mentors - and notable friends, such as C.P.E. Bach - it is surprising that Müthel’s music has not been more widely appreciated since his own death in 1788. However, Matteo Venturini’s new recording of his complete organ music is set to change that. Praised by the English music historian Charles Burney as “full of novelty, taste and grace”, Müthel’s compositions for the organ are wide-ranging: from imposing fantasias to more delicately paced chorale preludes, as well as a set of variations on the chorale “Jesu, meine Freude”. His music is highly original, particularly in the inner movements which are characterised by rhythmically striking motifs and phrases, together with abrupt changes of dynamics.
Three organs are used on this recording, all inspired by instruments of the North German Baroque, to demonstrate the variety of sound achievable in this graceful music. Matteo Venturini, winner of no less than eight competitions and a regular at prestigious international music festivals across Europe and America, is a seasoned interpreter of these works from the late Baroque in which he specialises. The author of a thesis on the organ works of Muthel's contemporary Daniel Magnus Gronau, Venturini’s debut release on Brilliant Classics of Gronau’s music (BC94843) was described as ‘admirably played’ in BBC Music Magazine and was Record of the Month on MusicWeb International.
Johann Gottfried Müthel was the last pupil of the great Johann Sebastian Bach. He was present at the master’s deathbed, and he performed the funeral services, taking over the duties of the deceased Cantor.
Mühtel’s music (“full of novelty, taste and grace” according to the great art historian and traveller Charles Burney) is of a wide variety: his Organ Fantasias are imposing, monumental and substantial, his chorale preludes offer intimate meditations on the chorale texts, all of it written in a highly original, dynamic musical language full of contrasts and instrumental virtuosity.
Italian organist Matteo Venturini chose three organs for this recording, all of them inspired by the North German Baroque tradition. Venturini, a winner of 8 international competitions, already recorded a CD with organ works by Gronau for Brilliant Classics (BC94843), which received excellent reviews, among others a “Record of the Month” on Musicweb International.

Praise be for variety of choice, style, interpretation and performance! I have been strongly attracted to everything "organ" since being a young child, eventually building what I thought was a pretty comprehensive collection of recordings, beginning in 1962. Yet, I am somewhat mortified to say I've never heard of J G Muthel! What a gap! But thanks to this recording, is being plugged up!

Had never heard of this composer before logging into KZbin today. Excellent compilation.

Honestly, I can't find a reason to explain why Müthel's work is so underestimated and not well known generally today. Some composition's parts on this video approach multiple levels of perfection...

@stevewallschlaeger1379 4 жыл бұрын

Agreement. He continued with the Masters style within the Roccoco and Classical style which in art in music followed the Baroque era of music. In many ways he sounds as Mozart's organ music. How many are aware that Chrisostomus Theophilus Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart did compose albeit lesser amount of Organ music

After hearing this magnificent recording alone it is both incredible and lamentable that the very engaging, imaginative (and at times even daring) music of Johann Gottfried Müthel has not been more widely known and appreciated. Judging by the Comments on this page, many other music lovers share the same sentiment. Sincere thanks to KZbin and especially to Brilliant Classics for its Mission (it seems) of acquainting us with the music not only of Müthel but also with that of the plethora of first-rate composers from the Baroque period whose work has been overshadowed and often overlooked (perhaps understandably, but unfortunately) by the multitude of Big Name composers who flourished during that era.

Its wonderful to come across a "new" composer especially for organ. I hear a good hint of Bach in his style.
