Heinrich Walther is an accomplished performer of the keyboard literature of the past 500 years. He performs some 17th century repertoire on his Flemish virginal and on different clavichords.
Heinrich performs most of J.S. Bach's organ and keyboard works, including the WTC I and II, the Partitas, and Die Kunst der Fuge. He also regularly plays the organ works of Mozart, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Reubke, Brahms, Reger, and Cesar Franck. Heinrich plays works by the 20th century composers Messiaen, Robert de la Riba, Dieter Mack, and Xavier Darasse.
Heinrich has done extensive research into the potential and limitations of transcription. Transcription has contributed much interesting music to the repertoire of the past 500 years. Significantly, some of the origins of keyboard music can be traced to transcription.
Heinrich transcribed and successfully performed Franck's d minor symphony, Mendelssohn's Reformation symphony (publ. at Butz Verlag Bu 1941) , Franck's symphonic poem "Psyché" and his d minor symphony (Leduc), and many other orchestra works by Mendelssohn, Schubert and Mozart.
