RETRO STYLE: THE NEO-BAROQUE AHREND ORGAN IN CALGARY (2024)
This debut recording of organ and organist showcases the "retro style" sounds of the neo-baroque, north German-styled Ahrend organ at the University of Calgary. Dating from 2006, this instrument authentically evokes the sounds of seventeenth north-German organs, along with a unique temperament based on a restored instrument from 1692.
Organist Wendy Markosky explores a diverse group of composers having personal, professional, or historical connections to one other, within a broader context of seventeenth-century north-German organ traditions that includes one modern work. Mixing less to more familiar works, the album highlights a wealth of genres and compositional styles from the music of Tunder, Weckmann, Froberger, Böhm, Bruhns, Buxtehude, Scheidt, Distler, Scheidemann, and Lübeck.
