The American composer William Albright (1944-1998) is one of the most idiosyncratic artistic personalities of the American music scene. One of the focal points of his work is his rich organ oeuvre, which also plays an important role in European concert life. This oeuvre spans a dazzling stylistic arc from the experimental avant-garde of the 1960s to post-modern eclecticism, incorporating elements of ragtime and jazz.

The goal of the undertaking is – before the year 2024, in which the composer would have celebrated his 80th birthday – to present a CD production that is a representative cross-section of his organ works. The double CD now being produced will fill a gap, since Albright recordings are not yet available on the European CD market.

The selected acoustic spaces and their instruments are highly suitable for the stylistic demands: the Jesuit Church in Vienna and its Späth organ, which is held in high esteem internationally, and the Monastery Church of St. Gabriel in Maria Enzersdorf in Lower Austria and its Rieger organ, which is the place where I work.
