Organists

Body of the Church of St. Thomas, Leipzig

few days ago I went to listen to the Ninth Symphony of Anton Bruckner, after a long time without it. And I chose the first recording made it Eugen Jochum with the Orchestra of the Bavarian Broadcasting in November 1954 for the 'Deutsche Grammophon'. Jochum is by Celibidache, the director who, in my opinion, has best understood the monumental Bruckner's musical universe. And it has a lot to see that both composer and director, were organists and fervent Catholic.

The Ninth Symphony Bruckner, in D minor, is unfinished but it would still be a work almost perfect and undeniable emotional impact. Is dedicated "Dem lieben Gott ' -' the dear God '- it took nine long years in composing and its third movement - Langsam, feierlich ie: Slowly, solemnly," is one of the most breathtaking music of all time. The emotional 'farewell to life' of a man imbued with a profound religious spirit which is omnipresent in all his works. Even silence can be heard by the whales that dot all your scores.

the other day the inconclusive ending of the most beautiful symphonic adagio I know, and I know many, followed by a Bach toccata, another organist, and the chronological distance that separates the two German composers, the two scores seemed to be completed as part of a ; 'Summa Theologica musical'. And I remembered that Eugenio Trias believes that all the work of Bach is chaired by preestablished harmony of Leibniz and revolves around the big questions relating to man, the universe and God. If Bach was the greatest of all musicians, we can guess Bruckner eternity.
