Stefan Engels plays two of Karg-Elert's best known pieces. Homage to Handel is a vast work of many variations which uses the colours of the organ and gives a superb demonstration of its sounds and possibilities. Trois Impressions is a beautiful and haunting of colours and ethereal beauty. The Partita is a less well known work but suits the Steinmeyer organ perfectly There are now just two volumes left to come of this groundbreaking series and they will be released later next year.
".....this series will surely stand as the greatest project the gramophone has achieved in organ music for very many years....the Partita, masterpiece receives here a quite splendid performance from Stefan Engels and the whole disc is superbly recorded. One must also commend the extensive and highly informative booklet....this CD is a very fine addition to the discography of Sigfrid Karg-Elert. ( Choir and Organ)
"This is a remarkable disc; which ever way you look at it is totally extraordinary. The sheer scale of an undertaking that sets out to record every note that Karg-Elert wrote for the organ is mind-boggling.....this CD is an exceptional achievement both in the context of the overall project and on its own terms. I am full of admiration for Stefan Engels championing of Karg-Elert and Neil Collier's recording of this larger-then-life music. Warmly recommended." - Roger Judd- Cathedral Music
