"The most important tone color of an organ is always the room," says Sebastian Küchler-Blessing. The Essen cathedral organist, who discovered his love of the organ at the age of two and a half, has developed a lively musical life around the Rieger organ at the cathedral church of the Ruhr diocese and inspires audiences throughout Germany, Europe and even the Persian Gulf with his instrument. Because exploring a "new" organ in an as yet unknown space is a particular pleasure for him, he sets off on an improvisational sound journey through the Kuhn organ in the Jesuit Church. This is framed by a fine cross-section of Bach's organ works and music from the 20th century, crowned by Max Reger's famous homage on the B-A-C-H motif.
