About

The Faust Symphony, first performed in Weimar in 1857, is one of Franz Liszt’s most significant compositions. For the recording of his transcription of this work for organ, Hansjörg Albrecht played the celebrated Klais organ in the Philharmonic Hall of the Gasteig, Munich. He will perform the Faust Symphony in a concert at the same venue on 13th June 2018, appropriately during the Faust Festival in the city of Munich.

Reviews

October 2018

Albrecht’s arrangement and performance both rise to the challenge with impressive success. The acoustic of Munich’s ultra-modern Gasteig concert hall – able to handle a thunderous volume-level while allowing detail to remain clear – is an asset in itself; so is the state-of-the-art range of registration offered by the Klais organ. And Albrecht’s command of his self-imposed technical challenge is so complete that it’s effectively impossible to imagine a finer performance.
