Fischer - Meine Liebe hängt am Kreuz - Schuke organ, Erfurt, Hauptwerk

Michael Gotthard Fischer (1773 - 1829) was a German organist and composer. He was a student of Johann Christian Kittel, who was a student of Johann Sebastian Bach. Fischer succeeded Kittel as organist at the Erfurt Predigerkirche and also worked as organist at the Barfüsserkirche. From 1816 onwards, Fischer taught basso continuo and organ. August Gottfried Ritter, Ludwig Ernst Gebhardi and Eduard Grell were among his students. Due to his suffering from gout, he was forced to resign from his position as organist in 1820. Fischer composed numerous vocal and instrumental compositions for solo instruments, small and large ensembles, but he is mainly known for his organ compositions.
