D_München Isar Philharmonie Klais-Orgel
The great hall of the Munich Philharmonie is home to a Klais concert organ from 1984. The impressive asymmetrical organ front was a milestone in the design of modern organs at the time. The instrument is a universal organ in the best sense of the word with a total of 74 stops: a classical Hauptwerk (II) is joined by a baroque Rückpositiv (I), a large French Récit expressif (III) and a more delicate Schwellwerk (IV) inspired by German Romanticism. Furthermore, the organ has two consoles: a classical mechanical one directly on the case and a mobile electric one on the stage.
Anyone who turns around for the first time when visiting the Herz Jesu parish church in the Munich district of Neuhausen will be surprised by the black “gallery box”, from whose darkness a square wall of pipes gleams silvery and elegant. The ends of the pipes are not covered by a case, but disappear mysteriously into the darkness of the gallery. Behind this avant-garde facade, however, is a relatively conventional universal organ with 67 stops over three manuals. In 2004, organ builder Gerald Woehl from Marburg created an instrument that combines several stylistic influences: The Oberwerk (Manual II) is based on Middle German models – the organs of Johann Sebastian Bach – while the Schwellwerk (Manual III) clearly speaks a French Symphonic language.

D_Muenchen_AltStPeter_C St. Peter
In 2003, the Catholic parish church of St. Peter received a new organ from the Klais company in Bonn with four manuals. 58 stops are distributed among the Hauptwerk (I), Solo (II), Schwellwerk (III), Bombarde (IV) and Pedal. The four-manual console is visually based on the Cavaillé-Coll model and, like the latter, is positioned facing the altar.

D_München Frauenkirche_Orgel
Munich Cathedral currently houses two instruments built in 1993/1994 by the organ-building company Georg Jann from Allkofen. The facade is based on the Stellwagen organ of St. Mary’s Church in Stralsund (northern Germany) and translates its formal language into modernity. The main organ has 95 stops over four manuals and pedal as well as two consoles: a tracker action instrument in the classical construction style, including a Rückpositiv and an electric one on the main gallery below. The choir organ, with its 36 stops over three manuals, can also be played from these two consoles. A unique register of the organ is the Horn 8‘ reed stop in the Hauptwerk.

MBC-und-MBO_C Thomas Baumann
With vividly structured Bach interpretations, the the Munich Bach Choir and the Bach Orchestra at concerts at home and abroad. Inspired by historical performance practice, they present baroque musical art in a contemporary, exciting guise – and beyond that, a versatile repertoire “”from Bach to Bernstein”” with unusual programme concepts. Founded in 1954 by Karl Richter and directed until his early death in 1981, the work was subsequently continued by renowned conductors, among them 1984-2001 by Hanns-Martin Schneidt and famous guest conductors such as Peter Schreier. At the beginning of the 2005/06 season, Hansjörg Albrecht became the new artistic director, “”a stroke of luck for the Munich Bach Choir””, according to critics. Under him, the choir developed a new artistic profile and its much-praised transparent sound.
Hansjörg Albrecht is regarded as a musical prodigy and is one of the few concert organists who is also regularly present internationally as a conductor. He is Artistic Director of the Munich Bach Choir & Bach Orchestra, Principal Guest Conductor of the Teatro Petruzzelli Bari, Guest Conductor of the Carl-Phillip-Emanuel-Bach-Chores Hamburg, as well as a frequent guest with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra and the the Staatskapelle Weimar. He gives concerts in the great music centres of Europe as well as in Japan and New York. In the meantime, both as an organist and as a conductor, he has released more than 25 albums and was nominated for a GRAMMY Award in 2013.
