Info zu Tunder: Complete Organ Music

The complete organ music by Franz Tunder, performed at the Ghilardi Organ of the Chiesa di S. Maria della Speranza in Battipaglia (Salerno, Italy), built by Glauco Ghilardi in 1996.

Franz Tunder (1614-1667) was born in the German city of Lübeck, where he stayed his whole life as organist and treasurer of the St. Marienkirche.

Tunder is one of the cornerstones of the North German organ school. His style is the “Stylus Phantasticus”, in which the emotional content of the text is the basis of the musical expression, using sudden harmonic changes, dissonances and tone painting.

Tunder left an oeuvre consisting of Chorale Preludes on Lutheran hymns, as well as several separate organ preludes.

Emanuele Cardi is one of the foremost Italian organists, specialized in early organs and the restoration of Baroque instruments. On this recording he plays a magnificent Ghilardi organ built in 1996, inspired by the 17th century German Arp Schnitger instruments.

Excellent liner notes written by a musicologist, as well as the complete disposition and photo of the organ are included in the booklet.

Another fine issue in the Brilliant Classics series of Pre-Bachian organ masters!
