Schumann's studies into counterpoint during 1845 climaxed in what he described as a 'Fugenpassion', with the resulting character pieces becoming a significant cornerstone of the organ repertoire. They are performed here by Tom Winpenny, who has also written the booklet notes, on the historic and recently restored FurtwÃ¤ngler organ in Gronau, Germany.
