"My collaboration with Cerha lasted 13 years. I worked with him on all his works, and he was present during many of the recordings," explains Wolfgang Kogert about the recently released recording of all of Friedrich Cerha's organ works.
The compositions – a toccata, nine preludes, nine inventions and six postludes – are all part of Friedrich Cerha's late work and were written between 2011 and 2020; the toccata is the last oeuvre in his official catalogue.
The album, which comes with an extensive booklet featuring texts by Gertraud Cerha and Lukas Haselböck, will be presented on 27 February 2026 in the Great Hall of the Vienna Musikverein as part of the new concert series 'Nachklang'.
Friedrich Cerha was born in Vienna on 17 February 1926. On the occasion of his 100th birthday, three years after his death, the composer is being celebrated and honoured in a variety of ways – read more about this in our magazine.
