Harald Vogel (born June 21, 1941 in Ottersberg ) is a German organist , organ researcher , editor of early music and professor at the University of the Arts in Bremen .

life and work

After graduating from high school, he studied church music at the Hamburg University of Music in 1960 . In 1966 Vogel passed the A examination as a cantor and organist . During this time the first organ concerts took place abroad. From 1967 to 1969 he dealt with the life and work of Arp Schnitger . Vogel was involved in the final version of Gustav Fock's Schnitger monograph and was one of the initiators of the Schnitger conference in Groningen in 1969 . In 1972 he founded the North German Organ Academy , which from 1978 to 2002 in the stone house Bunderhee continuously trained organists from around the world and to date in connection with the University of the Arts Bremen international master classes offered, and with which he, among other things significantly the development of the Academy of Ancient Music Bremen promoted . 1983 he was on the East Frisian landscape , the East Frisian Indigenat awarded.

An important concern for him is the teaching of the old style of playing on historical organs . His concept of presenting the respective organ literature in the appropriate performance practice and style of playing (historical fingerings , agogic , registration ) on the original instruments from Gothic , Renaissance and Baroque had a multiplier effect. His own playing technique is influenced by the clavichord , whereby a natural weight technique of the arms creates a sensitization for the pressure point of the organ action .

Vogel is the initiator and director of the Dollart Festival, which was held as a biennial with the Netherlands from 1981 to 2003 and was the first cross-border organ festival in Europe. In 1997 he founded the Organeum in Weener , now headed by Winfried Dahlke as artistic director. From 1985 to 1995 Vogel held a teaching position at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media , and has been a professor at the Bremen University of the Arts since 1994.

As an organ expert and regional church music warden of the Evangelical Reformed Church (1983–2006), he accompanied numerous restoration projects. During his tenure, numerous historical organs of the organ landscape of East Friesland were restored. The consistent restoration practice had a role model function and a worldwide charisma. Various new organs were built according to his plans. a. for the Stanford Memorial Church , Tokyo / St. Paul, Göteborg / Örgryte nya kyrka and Bunde .

Harald Vogel gives concerts internationally. He has held teaching positions at various institutes, including a professorship for organ playing at Westminster Choir College in Princeton (New Jersey) since 1976 , after he became known in the USA through his collaboration with the organ builders Charles Fisk and John Brombaugh. He has influenced the way organists play around the world and instilled in the public an awareness of the value of historical organs.

There are numerous publications by Harald Vogel, including a. the critical new edition of the Tabulatura nova (1624) by Samuel Scheidt and the toccatas and chorale arrangements by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck , all organ works by Nicolaus Bruhns and Vincent Lübeck , the first publication of the 24 capricets in all keys by Jacob Wilhelm Lustig , the facsimile of the Der sich organ school self-informative piano player (1767) by Michael Johann Friedrich Wiedeburg as well as basic illustrated books on the historical organs in Lower Saxony . His recordings of historical organs in northwest Germany for Radio Bremen (1962–1976), which first recorded the Magnificat cycles by Hieronymus Praetorius , Samuel Scheidt and Heinrich Scheidemann , are documentary significant. Among the numerous recordings on sound carriers with organ works from the Gothic , Renaissance and Baroque periods , the complete recording of Dieterich Buxtehude's organ works on 17 historical organs (7 CDs) should be emphasized. Vogel revived the Redeuntes compositions from the Buxheim organ book (approx. 1460) through the interplay of bell and organ. His recording of Bach works on the pedal clavichord is a premiere.

In 2008 Vogel received an honorary doctorate from Luleå University of Technology in Sweden and in 2012 the ECHO Klassik in the category Instrumentalist of the Year (organ) with his album JP Sweelinck: Orgelwerke Volume 1 published by Musikproduktion Dabringhaus & Grimm . In 2012 he was awarded the Bremen Music Festival Prize . He received another honorary doctorate from Oberlin College in Ohio in 2014. In 2018 he was awarded the Buxtehude Prize of the city of Lübeck for his services to north German organ music and the dissemination of Dieterich Buxtehude's music.
