COMPOSERS: Rheinberger
LABELS: Dabringhaus und Grimm Gold
WORKS: Organ Works, Vol. 3: Sonata No. 5; Sonata No. 6; 12 Fughettas, Op. 123a
PERFORMER: Rudolf Innig (organ)
CATALOGUE NO: MDG 317 0893-2
Innig’s pilgrimage through Rheinberger’s organ works arrives at some of the composer’s most intense, broodingly chromatic writing in these two sonatas. His flowing, characterful playing finds a natural home here, and he contrasts well the dark intensity of the outer movements with the inner ones’ lighter shades. Adequately recorded. Stephen Haylett
