This Three volume anthology offers a representative cross section of 150 years of organ music in Russia and former Soviet Union. Its layout reflects the three main currents - German and French organ traditions and Russion folk music - and their most important advocates, thereby providing an exciting survey extending to the present day.
Each volume in this bilingual publication is arranged in chronological order and contains a detailed historical overview and a text critical report with list of sources.
A preface gives information on editorial policy and notes on performance practice (e.g. suggested registrations from the editor). The textual section concludes with brief biographies of the composers involved.
An authoritative edition of previously unpublished or largely inncessible music in Russia, edited by one of Moscow's leading concert organists and musicologist.
