Once again, I thank Richard Pennycuick for his listing of new Naxos offerings. The two that most grabbed my attention are Volume 4 of Scheidemann organ works and the Miaskovsky/Vainberg Violin Concerto coupling. That concerto coupling looks like a great program. I've been getting into both composers in recent years and am always glad to see new discs of their music. Concerning the Scheidemann disc, it's about time that a new volume is coming out. I have the previous three and was wondering if the series had stalled for some reason. For those not familiar with Scheidemann, he lived during the period that greater freedom from rigid musical forms was starting to evolve into what is commonly referred to as the "Stylus Phantasticus" that is exemplified by the music of Buxtehude. When we look at Bach's organ music, we might wonder where it came from. Well, just go back to the days of Cabezon and Sweelinck, then listen to Weckmann/Scheidt/Scheidemann, then move on to Buxtehude, and you'll notice a progression of structural freedom and elasticity that culminated in these styles being incorporated into Bach's organ music. Scheidemann is one of the historical keys to Bach's music in addition to having composed some absolutely fantastic organ works. I just have one question. Does anyone know who the organist is on Volume 4? Don Satz [log in to unmask]
