Organ works by Felix Mendelssohn. Hans Fagius at the Åkerman&Lund Organ in Kokkola Church, Finland. Felix Mendelssohn was the first major composer after Bach to show real interest in the organ, and his two published sets of organ pieces are milestones in the development of Romantic organ music. For this recording, most of his output for the instrument has been performed on an ideal organ newly built in the Classical and early Romantic style prevailing round about the early decades of the 19th century.
