A Modern Master Interprets a Modern Giant: Lionel Rogg Plays Hindemith’s Organ Sonatas
The pipe organ has a vast and rich history, but its 20th-century repertoire is a powerful and unique world of its own. A cornerstone of that repertoire is the set of three organ sonatas by the German composer Paul Hindemith, and this album features them performed by the legendary Swiss organist, Lionel Rogg. We are looking at this masterful recording released on the Harmonia Mundi label.
Lionel Rogg is one of the most celebrated organists of his generation, renowned for his intellectual rigor, flawless technique, and profound interpretations of complex works, particularly those of J.S. Bach. His decision to record Hindemith’s complete organ sonatas is a significant one, bringing his celebrated clarity and structural understanding to these modern masterpieces.
Hindemith’s three organ sonatas, written between 1937 and 1940, are not the thunderous, romantic works one might expect. They are neo-baroque in form, looking back to the contrapuntal genius of Bach, but written with Hindemith’s unique 20th-century harmonic language. They are intricate, highly structured, and deeply expressive pieces that are a true test of both the organist’s technical skill and their musical intelligence.
Listening to this album is a chance to hear a master interpreter at work. Rogg’s playing is known for its incredible precision and articulation, allowing the complex, intertwining melodic lines (the counterpoint) to be heard with crystal clarity. He brings a sense of nobility and profound understanding to these dense, brilliant, and sometimes austere works.
For any fan of classical organ music or the complex, brilliant compositions of Paul Hindemith, this recording by Lionel Rogg is an essential, top-tier performance. You can find this album on our website.
