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.
