Aldilà Records is a Munich based label focussing on the presentation of great musicians of past and present times as well as on promoting unsung masterworks. It is led by Christoph Schlüren, conductor, music pedagogue, and one of Germany's most distinguished writers on music. The programmes of Aldilà's CDs regularly show how the different aspects, on which the label focusses, come together. You will often find CDs dedicated to special performers, on which unsung works are presented along with well known pieces to show how good they can stand together with each other in terms of quality. Most CDs contain works of different composers, often from different times, with a special idea in the background on which the programme is built. There is, for example, a double CD by Hugo Schuler, an Argentinian pianist with a special talent for polyphonic music. Here Bach's Goldberg Variations and three Preludes and Fugues from the Well Tempered Clavier are combined with pieces of contrapuntal art from different times: a Fantasia by Froberger, and works by Heinrich Kaminski and Reinhard Schwarz-Schilling. One of the next CDs, the publication of which is scheduled for February, will deal with the genre of String Trio. The Trio Montserrat (Joel Bardolet, Violin; Miquel Córdoba, Viola; Bruno Hurtado, Cello) will play Mozart's famous Divertimento, and then follow the path into the 20th century. The next piece is Paul Büttner's Trio Sonata from the 1920s, a work in seven short movements, which shows this great late romantic symphonist as a master of canonic writing in the tradition of his teacher Felix Draeseke. The programme is finished by Trios of Heinz Schubert and Reinhard Schwarz-Schilling, both belongig to the circle of Heinrich Kaminski. Like their mentor, both were contrapuntists by heart, heavily influenced by Bach's art, and wrote music of impassioned introvert solemnity. Schubert's Trio Sonata dates from the 1930s, it is written in three movements, containing a chorale-passacaglia and ending in a highly active fugue. Schwarz-Schilling's Trio is one of this composer's last pieces, written in the 1980s. It is a rather quiet work in two very concentrated movements. The Youtube channel of Aldilà Records contains videos from the rehearsal sessions for this new CD, in which some movements of the pieces can be heard in full. You can get vivid impressions, too, of the Trio Montserrat's formidable musicianship and Christoph Schlüren's profound work as a chamber music coach (sessions were made in English language): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHdzLpiL6Yldrnz5_Z196kg

ARCHIVED TOPICS / Theory and tradition / Re: Symphonies with organ

In Charles Tournemires Symphony No. 6 the organ is not used until the penultimate part of the second (and final) movement, where it appears together with a Tenor solo. The composer described this as the voice of Jesus Christ. The organ was Tournemires own instrument, so maybee he wanted to compose a dialogue between him and god.
Hauseggers Nature Symphony uses the organ as an important part of the orchestra (if there is no organ, the composer had written alternative parts for some wind and string instruments).
Wilhelm Georg Bergers Symphony No. 10 has a prominent organ part, too. The organ plays alone over longer sections of the work.
