Info for Fink: The Great Organ Works

A worthwhile rediscovery: Christian Fink's organ works include 5 sonatas, 2 fantasies (and a double fugue), 5 preludes (and a fugue), 30 chorale preludes and about 100 free recital pieces. His work lies in the chronological arc between the organ sonatas of Felix Mendelssohn and the chorale fantasies of Max Reger. During his training, Fink wrote, among other things, numerous fugues as study works for his composition class; he kept a workbook for this purpose, but did not include these pieces in his opus count. His works were praised during his lifetime as the "pinnacle of Swabian organ romanticism"; today the composer Christian Fink is largely unknown....This music is rich in contrast, sensitive and very accessible.
