  • Organ Interpretation Competition for the Johann Pachelbel Award at the 69Th ION Music Festival 26 June - 02 July 2020
    Organ Interpretation Competition for the Johann Pachelbel Award at the 69th ION Music Festival 26 June - 02 July 2020 A WARM INVITATION TO NUREMBERG For 52 years, young artists have been invited to come to Nuremberg in early summer to give proof of their artistic prowess to a jury comprised of prominent experts. The climax of this process has always been the presentation of the widely known Johann Pachelbel Award. And so again we issue an invitation to register for this prestigious international interpretation competition in 2020. What is it all about? The organ interpretation competition is looking for organists who in their young careers have already achieved independent interpretation of significant works of organ literature. But it will also seek interaction with contemporary works. And expect competitors to be able to deal with both the soundscapes and playing technique of historical organs and to cope with the possibilities and challenges of modern instruments. At the same time, this interpretation competition explicitly demands not only technical skills, but also looks for interpretations which are courageous, sometimes leaving matters open, finding new aspects in well-known works, and eliciting unique sounds from the instruments themselves – feeding on the tension between tradition and future perspectives. And of course, the sequence of works, the organists’ programming and sometimes the link between the individual compositions to be played is of special interest to the jurors. This is all about a contemporary way of dealing with the history of music and instruments. From the first round on, the competition will be public. The final will be an integral element of the festival programme of the 69th ION Music Festival, staged in the world famous Old Town of Nuremberg, and played on the Peter organ of St Sebaldus’ Church.

Das Werk wurde von der Firma Son- reck aus Köln erstellt. Den Prospekt schuf der Kölner Bildhauer Christoph Stephan nach einem Entwurf des Dombaumeisters Ernst Friedrich Zwirner. Das Instrument bestand aus einer zweigeteilten, mechanischen Orgel mit 16 Registern, links und rechts des Westfensters. Der Spiel- tisch war im Innern der Orgel unter- halb des Fensters zwischen den bei- den Orgeltürmen platziert. Blick zur Orgelempore Aufgrund ihres veralteten Systems und Abgenutzseins schuf die Firma Johannes Klais im Jahr 1905 ein neues Instrument mit 20 Registern. Die Orgel wurde nun pneumatisch gesteuert, hatte einen separat stehenden Spieltisch mit Blickkontakt auch zum Altarbereich. Das vorhandene Pros- pekt blieb erhalten. Da die Orgel im Jahr 1963 nicht nur restlos verschlissen ist und den heuti- gen klanglichen Ansprüchen keineswegs mehr gerecht wird, erstellte die Firma Klais ein Angebot für einen Neubau über 68.400 DM. Dieser Betrag konnte nicht aufgebracht werden, daher wurde im Jahr 1963 eine elekt- ronische Chororgel für 14.200 DM erworben. Es handelte sich um eine Dereux-Orgel aus dem Hause Steinway & Sons, Lieferant war die Firma Braun-Peretti aus Bonn. Diese moderne „Elektronenorgel“ führte zu ei- niger Aufregung besonders unter den Organisten im Kreis Ahrweiler.

  • The Renovation of the 72 Stop Klaisorgan
    The renovation of the 72 stop Klaisorgan The big organ in Hallgrímskirkja, built in Johannes’ Klais world-renowned Orgelbau in Bonn in Germany, is the largest musical instrument in Iceland. It was inaugurated on December 13th 1992 and celebrated its twentieth anniversary 2012. Its size, elegant design and sound coupled with the acoustics and splendid interior at Hallgrímskirkja have Hádegistónleikar á fimmtudögum kl. 12 made this grand organ a much sought after instrument all over the world. Lunchtime concerts on Thursdays at 12 noon The Hallgrímskirkja Friends of the Arts Society has from the organs inauguration organized an ever increasing number of organ concerts, especially during the summer when thousands of tourists attend the International Organ Summer, an annual festival from June until August. Each year, around 40 organ concerts are given in Hallgrímskirkja and advanced students at the Music Academy of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland frequently receive lessons at this excellent instrument. Hardly a day goes by without Hallgrímskirkja’s Klais-organ being played. At the beginning of 2013 representatives from the Klais Orgelbau in Bonn arrived in Iceland to clean the organ and renew various pieces of hardware, worn due to much strain. During this process all 5.273 organ pipes had to be removed. This presented an excellent opportunity for modifications on the organ’s computer equipment, called for by new technology and increased demands. At the completion of this extensive project it can be said that the Klaisorgan in Hallgrímskirkja is as new, every pipe has been polished and retuned and the organs electronic operating system has been updated to the year 2013, with many fascinating new possibilities.
