Description
Stories about Nicolaus Bauns are legendary - while performing as a violin virtuoso, he occasionally accompanied himself on the organ pedal and – according to some reports – sang at the same time!
He indeed would have been capable of such a feat; his few surviving organ works, which Ingo Duwensee has now recorded on the historic organ in Altenbruch, display an original spirit with a predilection for bizarre surprises. Others too valued the extraordinary quality of his compositions: none other than Johann Sebastian Bach acquired a copy of the great Prelude in E minor – an outstanding example of the stylus phantasticus.
Ingo Duwensee complements the few transmitted organ works penned by Bruhns with some pieces from his Husum environment. He thus presents the Altenbruch organ, an instrument lovingly restored only a few years ago.
