About

Organist Leon Berben can be considered a master of his trade on the harpsichord and organ. Furthermore, his extensive knowledge of music history and historical performance practice make him one of the leading figures of his generation in the "early music" scene. His repertoire includes keyboard works from 1550 to 1790 and he also co-authored the encyclopedia "Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart". Intensive study of sources and constant research work give the art of interpretation of Leon Berben a special status. His solo CD recordings on historical organs and harpsichords have been highly praised by the specialist press and have received several awards, including the "Diapason d'Or", the "Choc" of "Le Monde de la Musique" and the quarterly Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik. On his latest recording Berben was able to use two of the most famous early baroque organs in Germany for his complete recording of the organ works of Matthias Weckmann (ca.1616-1674): the Hans Scherer organ (1624) in the Stephanuskirche in Tangermunde and the Friedrich Stellwagen organ (1636) in the Jakobikirche in Lubeck. Both authentic instruments are wonderfully preserved and have been restored in an exemplary manner.
