A Sound Space with History

The Riddagshausen Abbey Church is one of the oldest Gothic structures in Germany, revealing its serene grandeur especially in the evening hours, which makes organ music so irresistible. Here, music is not just performed; a live atmosphere is created with fine acoustics, extensive reverberation, and an audience mood that hovers between devotion and enthusiasm.

Frédéric Deschamps and the French Organ School

Frédéric Deschamps is known as the titular organist of the great organs of the Sainte-Cécile Cathedral and the Collégiale Saint-Salvi in Albi. Since 2013, he has regularly performed as a concert organist, presenting recitals in France and abroad; his work represents a repertoire spanning over five centuries of organ music. His discography and program choices also reflect a clear artistic signature: baroque architecture, rich registration, and precise conducting of sound masses.

Bach, Rameau, and the Art of Registration

The program promises a journey through contrasts: baroque rigor, French elegance, and the spiritual power of grand organ architecture. In a church like Riddagshausen, such works unfold their full impact. Those who listen attentively will experience how manual changes, pedal techniques, and registration orchestrations combine into a dramatic musical narrative.
