Sietze de Vries Improvisations

Sietze de Vries: "I really find it a challenge to persuade people to listen to organ music. What I like best is that every organ is different. Every church has its own atmosphere and acoustics and an organ that is unique. And the difference between an organ from 1600 and one from 1800 is enormous. As a piece of furniture, the organ is often also a museum piece: I can sometimes look for hours at all that beautiful carving"


Sietze de VriesOrganist

and church musician Sietze de Vries is famous for his compelling improvisations about well-known psalm melodies. To this end he puts himself in the shoes of great composers and shows how, for example, Bach or Mendelssohn would have made a name for himself with these melodies. Sietze de Vries has also built up a great reputation as a classical organist. Both worlds are broadly covered in this recital on romantic organ music from Germany and Scandinavia. Get to know this versatile organ artist for the first time or again.
