It is fully justifiable to claim that Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is the foremost German church-music composer of the 19th century. This is due above all to his many sacred vocal works in various formats and to his many compositions for the organ. The most important among them are without a doubt the six Organ Sonatas op. 65 which have become an indispensable component of the general organ repertoire. The spark was possibly lit by two English publishers who – thrilled by Mendelssohn’s organ playing – ordered various organ pieces in different formats from the composer. These pieces were written in 1844/45 and then collated to form six organ sonatas. However they didnot constitute sonatas in the strict sense of the word but rather suites. In their multiplicity of forms – reminiscent of chorales and lieder of polyphonic and virtuoso pieces – they form a genuine compendium of organ playing. Felix Mendelssohn's Organ Sonatas Op.65 as edited by Hubert Meister with fingering and pedalling by Wolfgang Stockmeier.

Le 26 avril 1937 la paisible ville de Guernica dans le Pays basque espagnol est anéantie par les bombardiers de l’aviation nazie. Plus de mille six cents civils sont tués. La ville brûle pendant trois jours. Guernica de Jan Hadermann se développe aux sons de la musique basque. La place du marché est pleine de monde. L’atmosphère est douce le printemps s’éveille sur un air de danse joué par des musiciens de rue quand surgit par dessus les montagnes l’escadron de la mort. L’enfer commence à Guernica. L’œuvre se conclut dans une intense expression de supplication pour qu’une telle folie ne se reproduise plus.
