Whats on your turntable tonight?

Organ! Bach! Dupre! Alain! Awash in the sounds of the great instrument!

Start with a little Karl Richter playing on a delightful tracker organ in Copenhagen one of Bach's Schubler Chorales (DGG 139325), add a beautiful little Triosonata, then the powerful Prelude and Fugue in c minor.

Then head to David Payne's performances of Bach Chorale Preludes from a lost manuscript (now found!) on a marvelous Bozeman-Gibson tracker organ (Harmonia Munid HMC 5158)

Next, step to Dupre's massive Symphonie-Passion, played on the equally massive and very French sounding organ at Hedvig Eleonora Church in Stockholm, performed by the wonderful organist Torvald Toren (on a very impressive Proprius LP - 7855). Volume up! Bass anyone?

Finish with the Litanies of Jehan Alain, performed by the incomparable Marie-Claire Alain, Erato EPR 15555.

Last night: the symphonies of Franz Schubert.
