English Summary:

The article discusses an upcoming organ recital by Michael Stewart Rogg at the First Lutheran Church in Boston. The recital, scheduled fifteen minutes before a performance of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's "The Seven Deadly Sins," will feature Baroque music.

Rogg, who is 33 years old and a Swiss organist, initially doubted he could play the organ for the performance due to its complexity. However, he later decided to incorporate a few pieces by Baroque composers such as Frescobaldi, Kerll, Froberger, Pachelbel, Buxtehude, and Bach.

The recital will include:

  • Frescobaldi: Two toccatas
  • Kerll: A canzona
  • Froberger: A ricercar
  • Pachelbel: Prelude and Fugue in E minor
  • Buxtehude: Two preludes
  • Bach: Prelude and Fugue in C major, Toccata and Fugue in D minor

Rogg notes that the organ at First Lutheran is flexible and suitable for various types of music, making the recital an attractive prelude to the evening's performance.

The exhibition showcases Barlach's rare works in various media, including bronze, ceramics, and terra cotta, representing some of his most significant pieces. The museum's efforts in assembling this exhibition play a vital role in presenting these important works to the public.
