Pachelbel: Organ Works Vol. 4

Owens, Matthew

RES 10353

Organist Mahew Owens continues his major exploration of the many extant organ works of Pachelbel with this forth volume, recorded on a recent instrument by the renowned French organ builder, Bernard Aubern.

This recording sheds fresh light on Pachelbel’s ingenious counterpoint and inventive chorale preludes, revealing layers of seventeenth-century Lutheran devotion and composional mastery.

A close contemporary of Buxtehude, Johann Pachelbel was, by all accounts, an outstanding keyboard player himself, and his compositions provide a fascinating stylistic bridge between early-Baroque composers such as Frescobaldi and Froberger (both of whom influenced him) and the later music of J.S. Bach and his contemporaries.
