Durufle, Suite, op5 - Torvald Toren at the Hedvig Eleonora Church Organ, Stockholm - Proprius 7854
Torvald Toren is an excellent organist playing on a beautiful organ built and voiced in the French "neo-classical" style, a superb organ for the music of Maurice Durufle. When the 32' Bourdon pipes are called upon in this beautifully recorded LP, you absolutely know it and feel it. (For people who tell me vinyl just can't reproduce bass as well as CDs, this is the LP I'm most likely to pull out to play for them.) This LP and it's sequel (Proprius 7855) contain four of Durufle's great organ works in marvelous sound. Highest recommendation if you love large scale French organ music and can find it.
