About the programme
Felix Mendelssohn is amongst the most important German church music composers of the 19th century, not just for his vocal works, but also for his organ compositions. The most important of these are the Six Sonatas op. 65, which stand at the heart of our International Organ Cycle 2025. Their exemplary status lasted for over a century, influencing composers from Joseph Gabriel Rheinberger to Max Reger and Paul Hindemith. Their variety and their musical richness make them a true compendium of organ playing.
