Edgar Krapp is a German organist celebrated for his masterful interpretations of both classic and contemporary organ repertoire. Born in 1947, he studied at the Hochschule für Musik in Munich and became a prominent figure in sacred music, holding positions like principal organist at St. Michael’s Church in Munich. Known for his technical precision and expressive depth, Krapp has built a legacy through recordings spanning composers from Bach and Reger to Messiaen, often highlighting lesser-known works alongside giants of the canon. His playful collaborations, like the *Bach-Trompeten-Gala* series with trumpeter Matthias Höfs, blend organ brilliance with brass flair, showcasing his versatility. Whether diving into Reger’s complex textures or French Romantic gems, Krapp’s recordings—like *Laudes Organi* or *Orgelmusik zur Weihnachtszeit*—reflect his passion for keeping organ traditions vibrant and accessible. A true ambassador of the instrument, he’s equally at home in grand liturgical settings or intimate recital halls.
