The organ breakes free from the church<\/p>\n
The German romantic organ tradition breaks free from the liturgical demands of the service. Grand scale works of Schumann, Ritter and Reger in this final release of Terje Winge\u2019s awarded series. Towards the middle of the 1800s several German composers continued to write large-scale works for the new gigantic organs that were being built at the time. The tonal profile of organs changed gradually from the slender, overtone-rich registers of the baroque era towards a darker, more orchestral sound. In his \u201cHaus und Lebensregeln\u201d Robert Schumann refers to the organ as a \u201csuper-personal\u201d instrument \u2013 indeed an inspiration.<\/p>\n
The previous release in the series Organum Norvegica, Vierne and Dupr\u00e9, was awarded the prestigious Diapason d\u2019Or in November 2009. Terje Winge was born in 1950, and has studied with Ludvig Nielsen in Trondheim, Arild Sandvold in Oslo, Prof. Dr. Jiri Reinberger in Prague and Gaston Litaize in Paris.<\/p>\n

Robert Schumann\u2019s \u201cSechs Fugen \u00fcber BACH f\u00fcr Orgel oder Pedalfl\u00fcgel\u201d opus 60 were composed in 1845. The four-note motif has been used by numerous composers (not least by J.S. Bach himself) both before and after. For Schumann\u2019s part it might well be assumed that his studies of Bach\u2019s music and his admiration for the great master naturally led him to the idea for his work. The six fugues of opus 60 can be seen as a cycle of character pieces, and a complete performance therefore clarifies best each fugue\u2019s individual character.<\/p>\n
Ritter\u2019s Sonata no. 3 in A minor (of four) was written in 1855. This grandiose and virtuosic work was dedicated to Franz Liszt; the two knew each other well, and Liszt admired Ritter\u2019s organ playing. Max Reger, although a devout catholic, produced many chorale-inspired organ works. \u201cEin feste Burg\u201d was performed for the first time in September 1898 by Karl Straube, to whom the work is dedicated. With this masterpiece the twenty-five-year-old Max Reger entered music history.<\/p>\n

He made his debut in Oslo in 1970 and has since developed an international career with repertoire ranging from baroque to contemporary music. In addition to his performing career Winge is a sought after pedagogue at the Norwegian Academy of Music.<\/p>\n
