Frey plays Liszt: Fantasy and Fugue on the Chorale “Ad nos ad salutarem undam”

Alexander Frey performs Franz Liszt’s largest keyboard work, the epic Fantasy and Fugue on “Ad nos ad salutarem undam” for organ. In this live performance, Mr. Frey begins the work with the actual chorale (tthe chorale of the Anabaptists-“Ad nos, ad salutarem undam”) from Giacomo Meyerbeer’s opera, “Le Prophète”, on which Liszt based this piece. At 20.54, he also plays the trills and scales on the pedals as indicated in the original edition of the work.
