Info for Morandi: Organ Music

Romantische Orgelmusik aus dem Italien des 19. Jahrhunderts: Giovanni Morandi(1777–1856) war einer der bedeutendsten Komponisten für Orgelmusik im Italien der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Wie bei vielen seiner Zeitgenossen stand sein Œuvre unter Einfluss des großen französischen Orgelmusik-ErneuerersCésar Franck. Sein orchestrales, gleichsam melodiebetontes Werk ist in der Wahl der Register stark an die Orgeln der Epoche seiner Heimatregion Venetien angelehnt. Marco Ruggeri, brillanter Experte für die transalpine Orgelmusik der Romantik, hat die zum Großteil geistlichen Kompositionen auf zwei norditalienischen Instrumenten eingespielt, die Morandis Klangvorstellungen sehr nahe kommen.
