Songs for Passion and Easter
During the time of Buxtehude and Bach, creativity in the improvisation upon chorales or free improvisation within the framework of a concert - even before purely technical agility - were the most important measure for the skill of an organist. Already with his improvisations on well-known Christmas hymns (Carus 83.179), Kay Johannsen has proven that he is a master of this art. The response generated by the release of this first CD was so overwhelming that a year later a second CD now follows with improvisations for Passion and Easter. The title “Passion“ refers, above all, to the story of the suffering of Christ, but it is also indicative of the intensity which inevitably occurs when improvising on the Mühleisen Organ in the Stiftskirche Stuttgart.
