Muffat: Works for Organ

Botticher, Jorg-Andreas

PC 10224

The organ works of Gottlieb Muffat (1690-1770), imperial court and chamber organist in Vienna from 1717, are based on the classical genres, which Muffat skillfully combined with the musical language of his time. His most important organ works remained unpublished during his lifetime and have only survived in copies, thanks in part to the Viennese Minorite priest Alexander Giessel. His collection has only been made available in a modern edition in recent years, which Jörg-Andreas Bötticher has recorded here for the first time. He used the three organs of the monastery church of Muri in the canton of Aargau, which are among the best-preserved baroque organs in Switzerland.
