After two years of abstinence, time was ripe again for another session at the huge Magdeburg Cathedral main organ. Unfortunately there was no time to practice any pieces beforehand, so the "private concert with passing public" somehow turned into a more or less technical experiment:
This album is my first disc completely recorded and mastered using surround sound material, which is available both as a CD with stereo sound and as a DVD with 5.1 surround sound! That way, a very realistic room impression can be imparted to the listener — which is definitely recommended to any proud owner of a 5.1 HomeCinema sound system.
Since the audio was recorded live during the regular opening hours, on the one hand there was no chance to cancel any ambient noise. On the other hand, this "noise" — inquisitive children included — of course adds up to the atmosphere in the building. So the album is "live and unfiltrated" in a literal meaning (rather than just "unstrained"), including a bunch of flubbed notes...

Like all my other recordings, the music is completely improvised, so there is no sheet music available.
