Kaleidoskop

Between Leipzig and Vienna. The winner of the 2025 Franz Schmidt Competition, Susanne Werpechowski, spans a wide arc across the German-language organ tradition – from Johann Sebastian Bach through August Gottfried Ritter and Max Reger to Franz Schmidt. Baroque clarity, expansive Romantic architectures, and the colorful harmonies of late Romanticism converge, making the many timbres of the Rudiger organ turn like a kaleidoscope – between Leipzig and Vienna.
