Today was the second concert in the Ettlinger
Orgelfrühling series, and this time I got there without
getting wet — only to receive my shower from above on the way back. What is
it with the weather these days? We had lightning, thunder and rain on seven
out of the last eight days.
Well, the program this time was rather traditional, it was framed by
Bach's Praeludium & Fuga in E♭ BWV 552 and Max Reger's
Choralfantasie "Wie schön leucht uns der Morgenstern",
the two highlights of this evening. In between there was another interesting
piece, a rather impressionistic prelude by Marcel Dupré (no. 3 from
his op. 7, Trois Préludes et Fugues).
