From the New World is the subtitle of Dvoraks famous Symphony No. 9, implying a
departure into a new musical world and representing a bridge between the
European and American music traditions and their influences. Dvoraks music
shares the programme with works by Samuel Barber and Aaron Copland. These new
organ transcriptions are performed by Hansjörg Albrecht on the Organ system
(large organ, concert organ, echo organ) of the main church St. Michaelis in
Hamburg.
Hansjörg Albrecht is – besides Ton Koopman, Masaaki Suzuki, Martin
Haselböck and Wayne Marshall – one of the few artists who are
regularly present internationally both as conductor and concert organist. He is
considered a musical innovator and lateral thinker without fear of contact. As a
conductor, he consistently follows his own paths – between archive and
new creation and with an extensive repertoire from Bach to Messiaen – and
with his organ transcriptions he has established himself as a specialist among
the virtuosos of his instrument.
