SACD (Super Audio CD)

The SACD uses a higher digital resolution than the audio CD and also offers the possibility to store multi-channel sound (surround sound). To enjoy the music in high-end quality, a special SACD player is required. Thanks to the hybrid function, most of the products marked "SACD" in our store can also be played on conventional CD players. In this case, however, the sound does not differ from that of a normal CD. In case of deviations, we point this out separately (non-hybrid).

Product Information

Northern German Organ Discoveries Vol. 5
Vol. 5 of our journey of discovery through the Northern German organ baroque is dedicated to two rather unknown masters: Melchior Schildt and Peter Morhard. The stations in Schildt's career are known: Wolfenbüttel, Copenhagen (as court organist to King Christian IV), and then Hanover to the end of his life. During his lifetime he was highly regarded as a famous organ virtuoso whose compelling expressive power and originality had an enduring impact. In 1732 Johann Gottfried Walther reported, »He could play, as he liked, so that one had to laugh or cry.« Schildt was also a man of robust temperament. As tradition has it, he became involved in a fistfight with the organ builder Fritzsche when the building of the new Wölfenbüttel organ did not progress as swiftly as he would have liked. Very little biographical information about Peter Morhard (or Mohrhart), the organist at St. Michael's Church in Lüneburg from 1662 until his death in 1685, is available. The compositions recorded here are the only known organ works by him that have been transmitted to us. Our surround recording was produced at the wonderful, outstandingly restored Dornum organ (1711) by Gerhard von Holy.

The Organ: »Ganz sicher ist hier der echte Klang des 16. /17. Jh. exzellent eingefangen in perfekter Umgebung.«
