This CD contains the first recording of the complete Chorale Variations by Daniel Magnus Gronau, a master from 17th century Danzig, "the finest musical soul ever to have graced the city of Danzig" as his pupils said after his death. He wrote a treatise on transposition, and the Chorale Variations form one of the most extensive compendiums of organ registrations of late Baroque organ music in Germany.

Organist Matteo Venturini is a winner of no less than 8 prestigious organ competitions, and wrote a thesis on the organ music of Gronau. He plays on a magnificent Ghilardi Organ in the Church of San Rocco, Larciano.

Booklet includes liner note and artist biography in Italian and English. All organ specifications are also included.

Wariacje na temat (Variations on a theme „Ein feste Burg")
Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan
Mitten wir im Leben sind
Es wird schier der letzte Tag
Gott hat das Evangelium
