Halgeir Schiager - Rheinberger - Three Late Organ Sonatas (2026)

Rheinberger: Three Late Organ Sonatas" is a breathtaking, monumental recording that captures the sheer structural brilliance and emotional depth of late 19th-century German Romanticism. Masterfully performed by Norwegian organist Halgeir Schiager, this album focuses on Josef Rheinberger’s final organ sonatas—works of immense architectural complexity, rich harmonic tapestries, and profound spiritual introspection.
