In this double album featuring over two hours of Iberian organ music, organist Peter de Jager explores the rich 17th-century Spanish repertoire recorded at the Monasterio de la Consolación in Palencia. Performing on a historically styled 19th-century instrument, de Jager focuses on the expressive tientos de medio registro, works tailored for divided registers that allow the treble or bass to function as a solo voice. The collection pairs Cabanilles’ contemplative Tiento de falsas with Peraza’s seminal Tiento de medio registro alto, highlighting a pivotal moment in Spanish organ history through the invention of split-register technique and its intimate, prayerful counterpoint.
