yeah.......2005-10-31

Let me first say that the world of organ music that I have been exposed to is very, very small. I have played PLENTY of orchestral pieces, and PLENTY of solo concerti; but an organ concerto?? Never. I first heard the name Poulenc in symphony orchestra class, where my director said we were playing it. I ran out and got it (honestly, I went down the hall to the music library where I found this album...) but it is AMAZING! I did use it to look over my part, and observe more of the musical nuances, but the other stuff in it is amazing too! It's worth buying if you want to hear a broad spectrum of emotions... or if you just want mad-scientist sounding stuff.

Very good from the start to the Finnish...performer.......2001-06-14

This recording captures the subtilety and tremendous power of a large renovated Skinner organ. Rarely, though, it seems there is a bit too much bass, which can obliterate the upper work. The performer quickly shows his command of the literature and instrument, with a large number of French romantic compositions and a handful of more improvisatore-style creations. For some, it might take a couple of listenings in order to fully appreciate this CD; it is not for the faint of heart.
