Orgel | Bach Reger Bruckner

In the organizer's words:

Raphael Attila Vogl shows just how diverse the organ can sound in a program that brings works from Bach to Bruckner to life in impressive transcriptions. The program opens with Carl Maria von Weber's overture to "Der Freischütz", which surprises with dramatic contrasts and a romantic sound ideal - in the version for organ, it unfolds an almost orchestral force.
Johann Sebastian Bach's Third Brandenburg Concerto in G major, originally intended for strings, becomes a virtuoso challenge in the organ transcription, emphasizing the clarity and radiance of the Baroque.
With an excerpt from Max Reger's String Quartet in E flat major, Vogl sets a chamber music accent that preserves the tonal intimacy of the original while simultaneously exploring the breadth of the instrument.
The concert concludes with the finale from Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 8 - a monumental work whose transcendent power gains even more magnitude in the organ arrangement.
