About

Organist Hansjörg Albrecht and sound engineer Martin Fischer got together to collaborate on an absolutely unique project in Kiel’s St. Nikolai: Wagner’s Ring Without Words as a symphonic suite for organ. Due to the different locations in the church of the main and the smaller choir organs, both of which can be coordinated and played from one console, this recording has a special place among all previously produced organ transcriptions.

To make the orchestral sound even more direct and denser, some passages were overdubbed as well.

Hansjörg Albrecht and Martin Fischer are two musicians who are both thoroughly passionate about Wagner’s musical language as well as obsessed with the ideal of achieving the best possible realization of Richard Wagner’s sonic world.
