About
Gerard Gillen performs the music of Peeters and Franck on the organ of St. Mary’s Pro Cathedral Dublin. Over the years, the Pro-Cathedral organ has become regarded as one of the finest examples in Ireland of the late nineteenth-century grand Romantic organ.

As a Peeters pupil, Gerard Gillen brings a sympathetic sensitivity...The [Franck] Prelude, fugue et variation receives one of the most satisfying interpretations heard recently. The sensuous shaping of the Prelude dispels the notion of Franck as an austere pedagogue.
