Hamburger Rhetorik
With an interesting program of works by Buxtehude and several composers who flourished under the influence of the musical circle of Hamburg in the 17th-Century and later, Leon W. Couch III explores musical interpretation with sensitivity to rhetoric and affect. Modeled on the work of Saxon builder Zacharias Hildebrandt, the 1995 Noack Organ in Christ the King Lutheran Church, Houston, Texas has 2 manuals, 30 stops and 35 ranks housed in an elegant case placed at floor level in the church. Dr. Couch provides comprehensive notes regarding interpretive issues, as well as careful documentation of the registrations used on this recording.
