Jaroslav Vodrážka Improvisation Toccata and Fugue May 2002 Valašské Meziříčí

2001, after a repeated listening of Jaroslav Vodrážka organ improvisations (vinyl record of Prague organs from 1968), I decided to find out his phone number and to visit him in Prague. We met and settled 2 purely improvisational concerts in our region. J. Vodrážka played the RiegerKloss organ in the church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary in Valašské Meziříčí in May 2002, improvised on own themes and themes of the audience. This is a private recording allowed by the performer. Photo on the video: Prospect matches, console it is another console as that time (during reconstruction in 2009 the former console was replaced), performer snap is from 2018 and from another place The theme of Holy God, we praise Thy Name (Czech cath. hymnal 932A, EZ 161, German EG331) is incorporated.
