Georg Muffat Organ Works vol 1,
By
This review is from: Muffat - Organ Works, Vol 1 (Audio CD)
Just what can you say about organ music without getting technical,not a lot really because an awful lot of us do not know the correct terms,but here is what I think of this disc,and a little about the Composer.
Muffat (1653/1704) was born in Megeve,Savoy of Scottish stock and was very proud to have been a pupil of LULLY (from 1663 to 1669) it appears that he spent a fair bit of his early years avoiding the Wars that were doing the rounds of Europe at that time eventually settling in Passau. So onto this record,Muffat is famous for bringing together the musical styles of Spain and Italy into his new mixed style,and here we have what is probably his most famous works "Apparatus music-organisticus",twelve "long Toccata's" arranged in the order of Church tones,eight of which are on this CD.Each of the eight are written in several sections, all the better to display their extremes of texture which cannot be found on any instrument other than the organ. I'm sure that if you are one of the people that enjoys the Organ being very well played you will indeed be very happy with this disc.In Martin Haselbock on the Organ of Klosterneuburg Abbey,Austria,these Toccata's are a great introduction to the works of Muffat,Naxos appear to have done us proud yet again.

Georg Muffat Organ Music,
By James F. Racle "Jim Racle" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Muffat - Organ Works, Vol 1 (Audio CD)
It is a nice fit to my collection of Baroque Music. I was unaware of this composer but had discovered him on the internet. This CD is very good and is a good example of the music of Muffatt.
