Langgaard: In Tenebras Exteriores, Messis / Dreisig
REVIEW:
Flemming Dreisig is the organist of Copenhagen Cathedral, and thus is enrolled in the âroyal successionâ of Danish organists. He has been a pioneer in performing Langgaardâs organ works, and made the first recording of Messis on the Ronna organ for Danacord in 1997-8. His new performance can be regarded as authoritative. Given the huge resources of the five-manual 1995 Marcussen organ of Copenhagen Cathedral and DaCapoâs technically excellent multichannel recording on SA-CD, this 2-disc set is another valuable item in the current reinstatement of Langgaardâs music.
There is no doubt that although Messis might be off-putting on account of its length and complexity, it really does grow on you. A fearsome challenge to organists, it is certainly an experience which organ-lovers should have, although I would not advise newcomers to Langgaardâs music to start with Messis, its seminal status notwithstanding. But clear some space in your diary and schedule a three night organ marathon at home; you could not have a better organ and organist to convert you.
