If there were a hit parade for organ works, the works in this programme would all be at the top of the list. They are milestones in the history of organ music; however, some of them were originally stumbling blocks. Ligeti's masterpiece "Volumina", for example, is a challenge not only for organists but also for organs; at a performance in Bern, all the fuses once blew in the French Church. That will not happen with the new Tonhalle organ. On the contrary, it will be able to show what it is capable of.
