About

Felix Mendelssohn was the first major composer after Bach to show real interest in the organ, and his two published sets of organ pieces are milestones in the development of romantic organ music. For this recording Hans Fagius plays on an ideal organ, newly built in the Classical and Romantic style which prevailed around the early decades of the 19th Century.
