I'd thought it was more, but this was probably only the third time I've heard Martin Lucker performing one of his free 30-min organ concerts in St Katharinenkirche in Frankfurt but this was no.3917 in his series and he's played most of them. I imagine it's something quite exporatory for locals who can come to them regularly, because he doesn't play the overly obvious repertoire. After the first 2000 I reckon you are exploring widely for your material. The Bach today didn't have a BWV number but was noted op. posth., Prelude and fugue Gmin. If I heard correctly, the fugue was really not what I'd expected, more two-part interplay than fugue, but I'll bow to Bach. Then Jehan Alain Fantasie and Max Reger Fantasy on the chorale "Don't punish me in your anger" op.40 no.2. Again, if I got parts, movements, etc identified correctly, this last was all repeating arpeggios moving up and down scales and some meeker responses; mostly loud and insistent and big. So a big earful from our committed organist, presumably on a goodly loud organ.
Prof Martin Lucker (organ) performed 30-min orgelmusik no. 3,937 in St Katharinen, Frankfurt.
