“JEHAN ALAIN: Jardin Suspendu” = Deuxième Fantaisie; Trois Mouvements; Suite; Deux Danses a Agni Yavishta; Première Fantaisie; Variations sur un thème de Clément Jannequin; Le Jardin suspendu; Litanies – Yoann Tardivel, organ/ Marion Ralincourt, flute – Hortus
A good introduction to the music of an important twentieth-century master who died all too young.
LISZT: Christus (Oratorio, trans. Liszt) – Nicolas Horvath, piano – Edition Hortus
Pianist Nicolas Horvath realizes Liszt’s monumental Christus oratorio as an eight-movement cycle of religious devotion and keyboard wizardry, always in epic proportions.
DURUFLE: Requiem (organ version); POULENC: Praises of St. Anthony of Padua; MESSIAEN: O Sacrum convivium – Patricia Fernandez, mezzo-sop./ Michel Bouvard, organ/ Les Elements/ Joel Suhubiette – Hortus
A fine rendition of a work that deserves its own spotlight.
LOIC MALLIE: Jeux (Six organ improvisations on themes of Claude Debussy) – Hortus
A strange take on themes of Debussy played on the pipe organ.
"KURTÁG /BACH: Play with Infinity” = KURTÁG: Játékok; KURTÁG / BACH: Atiratok – Jean-Sébastien Dureau & Vincent Planès, pianos – Hortus
Intriguing music and musical juxtapositions, plus performances blessed by the composer. The big letdown is the recording quality.
“Of Another Time” – Works of JENKINS, PAPONAUD, SAINT-SAENS, GRAINGER, LISZT, BONNET, WEITZ, KETELBEY, DEBUSSY, & GUILMANT – Yun Kyong Kim, organ – MSR Classics CESAR FRANCK Pieces pour Orgue = Lionel Avot, organ – Editions Hortus
A pair of worthwhile pipe organ CDs.
