VOLQUARTZ

This recording captures a collection of improvisations from Neustädter Kirche, Hofgeismar, Germany. The quartet of double pipe organ and double woodwinds / bass clarinets first visited the church in the summer of 2017 under the invitation of master organist Peer Schlechta, who also maintains the upkeep of these unique historic instruments

The quartet returned in September 2022 to offer the unique acoustic properties of this space a fresh set of ears and new experiences. The results of that day are captured here

Recorded by Franz Wagner
