Mendelssohn Organ Sonatas
Holzhey Organ (1787)
Abbey church of Weißenauu, Germany
Jonathan Dimmock, organist
Recorded on the spectacular Holzhey organ at Weissenau Abbey (Bavaria)—an organ which Mendelssohn loved—these Sonatas synthesize Baroque and Classical style with Romantic sentiment, establishing the musical vocabulary later used by Schumann, Brahms and Liszt.
“Dimmock’s performances are elegantly stylish and display a keen understanding of how the music moves.” – American Record Guide
