Orgelkonzert Kay Johannsen

|Mendelssohn :| Organ Works II

It is astonishing how much of the later, unmistakable "Mendelssohn style" can already be heard in the works of the young Felix, for example in the 14-year-old's supple, flowing Andante in D major. But he was also already driven by an impetuous will to express himself, for example in the Fantasia in G minor. What grandiose music he could have written after he had also achieved mastery in the field of organ music in the sonatas of 1845! In this second Mendelssohn organ concerto, Kay Johannsen, now also a professor in Lucerne, sheds light on further aspects of the composer, who died too early at the age of 38. A third will follow in 2026, the final year of the cycle.
