Kreutzbach Organs Top Pick

Gregor Meyer, director of the GewandhausChor, fulfills a dream by returning to “his” instrument, the organ, and recording an album at GENUIN that gathers sounds from Saxon organs of an organ-building dynasty: the Kreutzbach family from Borna. Meyer plays organs from three eras, taking us through Saxony from Johanngeorgenstadt to Wiederau and Zwickau-Marienthal. Meyer’s organ playing utilizes the full range of the highly characteristic and historically valuable organs to faithfully and differentially portray music by Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Bohm, and Max Reger. A must for lovers of historical, regionally anchored organ craftsmanship!
