In their GENUIN release Fortuna desperata, the foundation of the new University Church of St. Paul in Leipzig and university organist Daniel Beilschmidt celebrate the great cycles of faith and life. From ringing bells to the Zimbelstern, from the full organ to intimate dialogue with the human voice: Beilschmidt presents the new Metzler-Schwalbennest Organ in a recording that is at the same time a call for donations so the instrument can be completed. Beneath his fingers and feet, the stirring music from Machaut to Calvisius, from the 14th to the 16th centuries sounds both ancient and modern, boisterous and contemplative – a journey to the limits of the known world and beyond!
