1971 album on Wergo's superb "Studio Reihe Neuer Musik" avant-garde music series by specialized Neue Musik organist playing modernist/contemporary compositions for organ spanning from 1891 to 1970.
condition (record/cover): NM / EX
Between organ and barrel organ: Gerd Zacher takes the instrument out of the church and into the street. Charles Ives's Variations on "America", written when he was seventeen, mock the patriotic hymn with a teenager's cheek, and Erik Satie's Douze petits chorals are deadpan miniatures as dry as anything he wrote.
The second side holds Juan Allende-Blin's Mein blaues Klavier, after Else Lasker-Schüler, in which the composer takes part as performer. Recorded in November 1970 and issued by Wergo, a record of wit and estrangement.
