Toccata

About

All stops are pulled when organist Sebastian Heindl plays our Eule organ, demonstrating the versatility of his instrument with a virtuosic program. As a modern representative of the centuries-old Leipzig music tradition, Heindl opens his program with Bach. After warming up his fingers – and the audience – with the virtuosic cascades of the Toccata in F Major, he guides us through a mini-panorama of organ music, also presenting his own compositions. The captivating conclusion is Camille Saint-Saëns’ 'Danse macabre,' arranged for organ by Heindl himself – dance-like, grotesque, and dizzyingly virtuosic.
