Una superba composizione, interpretata magistralmente in un bellissimo organo

The only thing I'm able to say right now is: WOOOOWWW, NO WAY! This is INSANELY INGENIOUS!

[@domila5316]

Like his Kaliedoscpe but on acid.... absolutely amazing and I used to think Messiaen was the King of organ insanity.... I love Karg-elert!!!

[@andrej.organist]

Only discovered this piece yesterday, and finished listening to your recording just now. Spectacular in every sense of the word. Pity it’s so underperformed!

[@guidokorbach]

exzellent, ich bin zutiefst berührt. Vielen Dank

[@rr7firefly]

Always appreciative of Karg-Elert compositions, I think this music is exceptional. Please tell me where the churches with the stepped plaza are located.

+Noe Berengena I'ts Erfurt in Thuringia.

[@geschiedschrijver]

Noe Berengena. Erfurt. Thuringen, Germany. Search for the "Maria Gloriosa" bell in this cathedral, the most magnificent bell you'll hear in your life... Turn the speakers up !!

[@rr7firefly]

@@glockengambe Thank you. I find the space between the churches extremely notable because of the ascent. All those steps leading to the formal entry points on the front facades. Plus the intricacy of the towers and turrets.

Orchestration of the Symphony to be completed later this year.

[@AndrewDewarOrganist]

F Stöver Oh wow! I'd love to hear that!!

[@fstover5208]

If interested, I can send you a pdf of the score when completed. I like your interpretation here.

My wife entered the room ...and she wished I was listening to everything else instead of this horror ( in her opinion....)
