Jan Dolezel (organ)

The superb Czech artist Jan Dolezel acquired the skills of the organist craft in Prague and then in Lübeck, northern Germany, before moving to Würzburg in Bavaria. The openly declared objective of his intensive concert activities is to perform rarely heard works and bring them to a wide audience. His programme of just a few, yet highly imposing works for the Voit organ of the Liszt Academy was compiled in the spirit of this mission. The German Heinrich Kaminski, who died in 1946 after being forced to flee his homeland after 1933, continued the Bach tradition, just as the master innovator Max Reger did in his 30-minute composition dating from 1913. After the intermission there is a true rarity: the monumental triptych of the Czech composer Vítězslav Novák (died: 1949) reformulating Baroque genres in modern tonalities and dedicated to the patron saint of the Czechs, Saint Wenceslaus.
