Karl Hoyer was one of the composers who followed on from Max Reger in Germany in the first part of the twentieth century, writing wonderful late-Romantic/early-Modernist music which has a similar feel to Reger but is, arguably, rather more approachable. Graham Barber performs a programme of Hoyer’s great organ music, playing the superb Link/Gaida organ of the Pauluskirche in Ulm, a symphonic organ that we used for Maximum Reger and for Graham’s previous CD, Sigfrid’s Unbeaten Tracks. CD Tracklist is: [I] Chorale Prelude: Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott! [3:04] [II] Variations on a Sacred Folksong, op. 33 [13:53] Memento mori! op. 22* [III] I Trauerzug (Funeral Procession) [10:52] [IV] II Totenklage (Dirge) [5:23] [V] III Totentanz (Dance of Death) [5:30] [VI] IV Verklärung (Transfiguration) [7:35] [VII] Chorale Prelude: Alles ist an Gottes Segen [1:52] [VIII] Fantasy and Fugue on the Chorale: Wunderbarer König* [16:32] Total [64:41] * première recording Listen to Track 2, the Variations on a Sacred Folksong op. 33, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iemq9axiGlY
