Professor at the University of Music in Würzburg, Germany, Bossert's profound interpretations of Bach have gained him a devout following in Europe and Asia, and his recordings of the works of Max Reger have been called definitive and revelatory. This will be his New York debut recital.
Works by Bach (Prelude and Fugue in G Major and Passacaglia in C Minor), Mendelssohn, Brahms, Schubert, and Reger). “Christoph Bossert is the most respected German organist in the world today. His Bach playing reflects all the current thoughts on performance practice, and, in addition, his playing has a gravitas that is very rare in today’s Early Music world. He is also the finest interpreter of Max Reger I have ever heard”. - Dennis Keene
