About

The first CD recording of Stockhausen’s Tierkreis (Zodiac) in the version for organ. Originally composed for musical boxes, the work has been arranged for the organ and recorded by the young organist Dominik Susteck at St Peter’s in Cologne.

The 33-year-old, who has been organist at St Peter’s for 4 years, realised this project not only at an unusual venue but also on an unusual instrument. Since the 1980s, this Catholic chapel combines the church with contemporary art: the St Peter’s Art Station has become not only a much sought-after venue for exhibitions of contemporary art but also a special venue for new music with many concerts and services devoted to 20th- and 21st-century music.

In addition, the St Peter’s Art Station is provided with an instrument built by Willy Peter which was designed for contemporary music: the four-manual great organ and the three-manual choir organ currently have 104 stops, including such unusual sound additions as siren, saxophone and percussion orchestra with cymbals, drums or xylophone.

The organ, inaugurated in 2004, is unique because of its design and structure. Dominik Susteck describes his interpretation of Stockhausen's work as "frozen musical movement. The instrument no longer sounds like an organ but proves to be a colorful, agile and dynamic being".
