About

The first CD recording of Stockhausen’s Tierkreis (Zodiac) in the version for organ. Originally composed for musical boxes, the work has been arranged for the organ and recorded by the young organist Dominik Susteck at St. Peter’s in Cologne.

The 33-year-old, who has been organist at St. Peter’s for 4 years, realised this project not only at an unusual venue but also on an unusual instrument. Since the 1980s, this Catholic chapel combines the church with contemporary art: The St. Peter’s Art Station has become not only a much sought-after venue for exhibitions of contemporary art but also a special venue for new music with many concerts and services devoted to 20th- and 21st-century music.

In addition, the St. Peter’s Art Station is provided with an instrument built by Willy Peter which was designed for contemporary music: The four-manual great organ and the three-manual choir organ currently have 104 stops, including such unusual sound additions as siren, saxophone, and percussion orchestra with cymbals, drums or xylophone.

The organ inaugurated in 2004 is unique because of its design and structure. Dominik Susteck describes his interpretation of Stockhausen's work as "frozen musical movement. The instrument no longer sounds like an organ but proves to be a colorful, agile and dynamic being".

Susteck blows air through the structures while remaining respectful to the spirit, if not the word, of Stockhausen's original intentions. He uses percussion stops to move Stockhausen's nursery-rhyme melodies towards the edge-cavity of noise, sounding like a music box crossed with an orchestration...Stockhausen's melodies were originally conceived for music boxes: Susteck brings Tierkreis full circle.
