Organist Daniel Chorzempa studied at the University of Minnesota from 1955-1965, then at the Staatliche Musikhochschule in Cologne before returning to Minnesota to complete his Ph.D. in 1971. He began his career as a pianist, first in Hamburg and Cologne in 1969, then in Oxford and London in 1970 and 1971; however, it was his debut as an organist in London in 1969 that gained him critical acclaim.
Chorzempa's fluent, pianistic technique allowed him to tackle some of the more virtuosic organ works, particularly those of <a href="spotify:artist:1385hLNbrnbCJGokfH2ac2">Liszt</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3NejtlAJlaXXCAI4lGLhHq">Reubke</a>. It was also his background as a pianist that has led him to make a point of playing from memory, which is rare among organists, and at one time caused something of a sensation at his recitals. His recordings, in addition to the great nineteenth century virtuoso works, also encompassed many of the traditional works by <a href="spotify:artist:5aIqB5nVVvmFsvSdExz408">Bach</a>. Since 1970, Chorzempa was a member of the Studio für Elektronische Musik, Cologne, where he was active as a composer of electronic music. Daniel Chorzempa died on March 27, 2023 at the age of 78.
