Description
Brahms and Bruckner — two of the "greats" in the history of music. They were contemporaries, yet lived in completely different worlds. However, there was one essential interest the two of them shared at the close of the 19th century: they both cultivated the old art of counterpoint.
With his complete recording of the organ works by Johannes Brahms, performed on the Bruckner Organ of St. Florian Monastery (Upper Austria) Andreas Etlinger brings all the beauty of this art to life.
"Etlinger's playing throughout is solid and secure, maintaining an unsmiling visage and a seriousness of purpose which is entirely appropriate for this music." - Musicweb International
