There have been several recordings recently of the works of Petr Eben (b 1929). I reviewed his Faust in January / February 2002 and Mutationes in September / October 2002, both played by Halgier Schiager.
In this new release Gunther Rost plays Faust and Mutationes on the 62-stop, four-manual Goll organ in St Martin's Church, Memmingen, near the Lake of Constance. The organ sounds splendid and seems well suited for Eben's work, with its demands for rapid stop changes and many colors.
Eben's work is episodic and programmatic, with quick alterations not only in mood but in style. Rost is by far the best player of this music I've heard. He manages the shifts in style so skillfully that it sounds easy to do, though it certainly could not be. I enjoy this record and I expect to hear more from this fine organist.
