About
For much of the nineteenth century J.P.E. Hartmann (1805-1900) and Niels W. Gade (1817-90) were the two predominant figures in Danish musical life. They were both organists for most of their adult lives, and their destinies were interwoven professionally as well as privately. This CD gathers the most significant organ works of the two composers, and at the same time offers a unique picture of one of the most flourishing periods of Danish cultural history.

Reviews
Hans Fagius er teknisk blændende...de tre koraler spilles med udsøgt forståelse for musikkens retning...
(Musikeren).

...Hans Fagius visar på ett mycket förnämligt sätt på sin CD med dansk orgelromantik vad detta intressanta och unika instrument kan användas till.Rekommanderas!
