A total of four organs group themselves around the listener in three dimensions in St. Michael’s Church in Hamburg, and all four instruments are spectacularly employed on this Super Audio CD. Church music director Christoph Schoener has designed a very special program for the organs in his workplace: music by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy that has never been heard before in just this way. Schoener pulls all the stops on the central console and covers a spectrum ranging from the complete late-romantic forces of the entire organ system to the filigree murmuring of individual tone colours. A special treat: a solo for the echo organ installed high above in the ceiling sphere! Highly recommended.
