Organ Treasures is like a small concert also for those who prefer melodic, soft and cozy organ music, but who never earlier "dared" to buy an organ recording, while so much organ music can be both difficult and complex. We will hear four known works by Bach, but also music by less known composers, but who also composed harmonic and cozy organ music, like Pierne and Elert.

From Ives, we can enjoy his entertaining and virtuous arrangement of "God save the Queen," i.e. "Variations of America." The Recording is rounded off by Widor's very famous Toccata!

Opus 3 is happy to once again record Mattias Wager, who was part of the duo on "Live at Vatnajokull" and also participated on the SACD "Musica Sacra."

Super Audio CD - 4.1

This is the first SACD where Opus 3 uses the bass channel (LFE) and the reasons for this is a very strong case! In order to give this recording full justice, this is a true 4.1 recording, which means that we have taken the advantage of the bass channel, i.e. the channel that feeds the sub-woofer, while no normal speakers can reproduce the very deep bass that the organ in Hedvig Eleonoras church in Stockholm have - i.e. to down below 30Hz.

In order to do this in the best possible way, we asked Mr. Jorgen Thuresson to custom make a special crossover network based on the Linkwitz-Riley principal, at 24dB per octave with a crossover frequency at 60Hz. This frequency has been chosen in order to be able to use like more normal high quality front speakers, without destroying the total bass reproduction, i.e. that the matching to the sub-woofers works well.
