Apprehending Brahms's organ music, which is marginal compared with his orchestral and instrumental catalogue, calls for an intimacy with his successive pianistic aesthetics. Indeed, although the forms and polyphonic writing (the
Preludes and Fugues) are rooted in an implicit homage to J. S. Bach and Lutheran liturgical practice (the
Chorale Preludes), the highly personal atmosphere emanating from this music induces groupings that send us to the extremes of the Brahmsian chronology.
Edouard Oganessian studied piano with Mikhail Voskressensky and organ with Leonid Roizman at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow. Since then, the two instruments have been inseparable in his life as a musician. He did advanced training with Leo Krämer. Winner of the Franz Liszt Organ Competition in Budapest in 1988, he taught at the National Music Academy in Vilnius until 1990 when he settled in France.
Edouard Oganessian performs throughout Europe. His interpretations of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, Liszt and Mendelssohn have been hailed by audiences and critics in Germany, Netherlands, Russia and France. He devotes a large portion of his work to recording and loves performing, in addition to his vast classical repertoire, rare works.
