Complete Organ Music

Robert Schumann never specifically wrote music for a church organ. Yet his lifelong admiration for Johann Sebastian Bach and his fascination for a then newly invented, now obsolete instrument, the Pedalflugel (a piano with a pedalboard attached) led him to compose three sets of works for this instrument, here recorded on a church organ. Organist Roberto Marini, one of Italy's most accomplished organists, plays the Mascioni Organ of the Abbey of St Thomas the Apostle, Pontevico (Italy).
