Review by Ones Zeros

Album Review: Orgelwerke Granada by Francisco Correa De Arauxo & Gertrud Mersiovsky Alright, let’s talk about Orgelwerke Granada. This 1977 release from Germany is a deep dive into Renaissance classical music, and honestly? It’s kinda like stepping into a time machine. The composer, Francisco Correa De Arauxo, was way ahead of his time, and Gertrud Mersiovsky on the organ? She nails it. Released under Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, this album feels like one of those hidden gems you stumble upon in a dusty old record shop. Now, I’m not gonna lie—this isn’t background music for your coffee date or whatever. You gotta sit down and really listen to it. Two tracks stuck out to me big time: “Quarto Tiento De Medio Registro” (Track 2) and “Tiento De Decimo Tono” (Track 3). The second track, “Quarto Tiento De Medio Registro,” just hits different. It starts off with these intricate layers that feel almost hypnotic, like watching sunlight filter through stained glass in an ancient cathedral. There’s something so raw and emotional about how Mersiovsky plays—it’s not flashy but more like she’s letting the music breathe. By the halfway point, I swear I forgot where I was sitting because it felt like I’d been transported somewhere else entirely. Then there’s Track 3, “Tiento De Decimo Tono.” This one’s got a bit more oomph to it, if you know what I mean. It builds up slowly at first, teasing you with soft notes before exploding into this rich tapestry of sound. What gets me every time is how dynamic it feels—it’s like the music has its own heartbeat. If you’re into stuff that makes you stop scrolling on your phone and actually pay attention, this is it. One thing I love about this album is how unapologetically itself it is. There are no gimmicks here, no attempts to modernize or jazz things up for today’s listeners. It’s pure Renaissance vibes all the way, and honestly? That’s refreshing as hell. Sometimes you don’t need everything to be polished to perfection; sometimes you just want authenticity. So yeah, Orgelwerke Granada might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re into classical music or even just curious about what people were jamming to back in the day, give it a shot. Just don’t expect bangers—you’ll probably end up zoning out and staring at the wall instead of dancing around your living room. Oh, and here’s a random thought: Listening to this album made me wonder if Renaissance folks ever got tired of hearing organs all the time. Like, did they ever wish someone would invent the electric guitar already? Food for thought.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Orgelwerke Granada* is a hidden gem from 1977. It brings Renaissance-era organ music to life, thanks to Gertrud Mersiovsky’s masterful playing. The pieces were composed by Francisco Correa De Arauxo, a Spanish Baroque composer who lived way back in the 1600s. What makes this album special is how it captures the intricate beauty of tientos—early forms of keyboard compositions that are like musical puzzles. Released in Germany under Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, it’s a time capsule of sound that feels both ancient and alive. If you ever get the chance to listen, track XVI, "Segundo Tono," is a standout piece.
