About
Bernard Foccroulle devotes his latest recording – the last of the anthology of Northern German organ music of the Baroque period – to Jacob Praetorius and Melchior Schildt, both pupils of Sweelinck. Praetorius and Schildt’s music is not only strongly marked by Lutheran tradition, in which the chorale played a fundamental part, but also by other influences, principally Italian, that prepared the way for the explosion of the stylus fantasticus at the end of the 17th century.

The highlight is Foccroulle’s own completion of Praetorius’s Chorale Fantasia on ‘Durch Adams Fall’, a rare example of the genre specified for three manuals and with particularly virtuosic echo passages. Warmly recommended.
