Schneider & Kirkberger: Organ Music / Walter Gatti

Hendrie: Complete Organ Music, Vol. 1 / Tom

Winpenny

The organ music of Gerald Hendrie –born in England in 1935 but resident in France since 1996 – encompasses a huge range of influences, among them the organist-composers who went before him, dodecaphony, medieval plainchant and modality and jazz. The resulting works are as varied as the styles that fed into them, from grandiose to gentle, from severe to whimsical, from lyrical to lively. (Toccata)

Bottazzi: Choro et Organo [2 CDs]

Choro et Organo by Bernardino Bottazzi (1560–1614) may be considered the most extensive and best-known collection of Italian organ works from the early 17th century. In the beautiful edition printed by Giacomo Vincenti, the musical notation used relates to a tradition that is more Renaissance than early baroque. (Brilliant Classics)

Enrico Caruso: His Songs [2 CDs]

A symbol of Italianism and bel canto singing, Enrico Caruso moved from provincial Neapolitan stages to the world’s most prestigious opera houses, and as naturally as the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto, he could return to being the scugnizzo or street urchin of popular songs. A littleknown repertoire that deserves today, 150 years after Caruso’s birth, to be rediscovered by a new audience. (Urania)

Franck & Vierne: First & Last

The Quoirin organ is a very good fit for the colorful demands of Franck and Vierne’s music, and it was a perfect scenario to record at Ascension Church. With Vierne at the height of his artistry, his 6th Symphony marks the apex of the French symphonic organ tradition — a fitting culmination of the style enshrined with Franck’s Grande pièce symphonique.
