Listening to this CD, there is no doubt that Martin Lucker is a very serious musician. This aural impression is only further supported by the visual one brought on by his photograph in the CD's booklet, on the basis of which he could easily be mistaken for a contemporary of Brahms! You might expect that such seriousness yielded rather tedious renditions, with strict adherence to the dogma of "organo pleno" for the large free works.
