This CD is a compilation of two legendary organ recordings that were issued on LP in 1974. It reminds us once again that a first-class organ, a brilliant organist and state-of-the-art sound recording produce a musical result that remains as satisfying today as it seemed at the time. The disc also shows how convincingly a “modern” organ can perform both sonorous classical music as well as mysterious impressionism of later French music. One only needs to put the disc in the player to be transported to the Matteus Church in Stockholm or the Vånga Church with its cathedral-like atmosphere. You can also listen to Bengt Berg at the Proprius recording PRSACD 9093. |
