Orgelbearbeitungen

Liszt's works for organ are highlights of the virtuoso Romantic organ literature. This is why many organists will probably welcome the fact that a series of transcriptions based on piano works are added to the rather small Liszt repertoire. Johannes Geffert, professor of artistic organ playing at the Music Academy of Cologne, has chosen works that fit in well with church organ concerts: 'Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude' (from 'Harmonies poétiques et religieuses'), Legend No. 1 'St. François d'Assise - La prédication aux oiseaux', 'Sancta Dorothea' (1877), 'In Festo Transfigurationis Domini nostri Jesu Christ' (1880) and 'Vallée d'Obermann' (from 'Années de Pèlerinage'). All transcriptions are as close and faithful to the original piano version as possible. Interesting addition to the repertoire in good time for the Liszt Year 2011.
