Hndel / Lux / Lehtola - Complete Works For Organ Vol. 1 - Music CD

This release is the eleventh of Jan Lehtola's musicianship on Toccata Classics. Friedrich Lux (1820-95) was one of those musicians who formed the fabric of musical life in nineteenth-century Germany: though he worked away from the major cities, as conductor, teacher, organist, organizer and composer, he was an indispensable element of the communities in which he worked. His large body of organ music, as good as unknown before now, brings together elements of the musical language of Bach, Mendelssohn and Schumann, in works that range from the intimate to the grandiose.
