This new recording presents both organ works and harpsichord works of Heinrich Scheidemann (c. 1596‐1663).
Chorales sung in the vernacular, the pillar of Lutheran Service, are the primary source of inspiration for Scheidemann’s organ music. In combining the simplicity of the original melody and the complexity of contrapuntal technique the organist‐composer made the genre of chorale settings his own.
Joseph Rassam plays on an organ built by Bertrand Cattiaux who draw his inspiration from the Netherlands and North German instruments of the 17th century, as well as a historic two‐manual harpsichord, built in 1650/55 by “CLF”.
