Wilhelm Rudnick was a German organist and church musician and lived in the Romantic era. His organ works are typical examples of that romantic period between (roughly) Mendelssohn and Reger. I recorded one of his 30 Choral-Vorspiele.
I recorded it not on a typical German romantic organ, but on the model of the Metzler organ of Poblet. Although its character is baroque, romantic music works for sure. It helps that this piece is quite baroque in structure, I resisted to play it fast with many typical baroque accents/ornaments, but it could have worked I guess.
