Gerd Zacher, organist at the Lutherkirche in Hamburg-Wellingsbüttel, was the man who turned the church organ into an avant-garde instrument, and this record shows him at work. Mauricio Kagel's Improvisation ajoutée (1961-62) adds to the organist two assistants who change stops and the player's own laughter, shouts and claps. John Cage's Variations I (1958), for any number and kind of instruments, is realised here for organ.
Hans Otte's Touches (1965) and Juan Allende-Blin's Sons brisés (1967), in memory of the Bauhaus artist Lothar Schreyer, complete the programme. Recorded in June 1967 and issued by Wergo in its classic series.
