New recordings of romantic sonatas that were once part of the regular repertoire of church organists.Josef Rheinberger's organ sonatas are still overshadowed by Romantic composers for the instrument such as Liszt and Guilmant. With a few exceptions, they are rarely heard in concerts today and are considered "well done", but melodically uninspired and stylistically "out of date". For the German organist Christian von Blohn, however, Rheinberger's sonatas are among the absolute masterpieces.The cycle of 20 sonatas in total testifies to a memorable exploration of the great organ composers of the past and the endeavor to open up new terrain for the instrument in the Romantic period.
