| Erwin Horn follows Liszt�s precedent in making transcriptions of Wagner�s operas, taking important and memorable passages to create opulent sound pictures. In playing them, this becomes the largest collection of Wagnerian music transcribed and played by one artist. (Scores of Horn�s Bruckner transcriptions are available from OHS). The 1996 Klais 3-54 at the Augustinian Church in W�rzburg, along with a 2-14 choir organ, provide an ideal situtation for symphonic repertoire, voluptuously recorded!

| Thomas Dahl plays a new 2-44 organ built by the Winterhalter firm at the Parish Church of Our Lady in Achern, Germany, largely in the ca. 1870 style of Cavaill�-Coll but also incorporating characteristics of the south German romantic organ of the period. The fine sound emanates from a handsome, free-standing case in the West gallery with unusual placement of the Grand Orgue in a very large and handsome case on the gallery rail of this medium-sized church with very fine acoustics. Symphony 4; Aria (Sym. 6); Pastorale, Berceuse (24 Pi�ces style libre); Pr�lude, Andantino, Caprice, Marche nuptiale (24 Pi�ces de Fantaisie) | |
