About
A showcase of one of America’s most spectacular symphonic organs, the EM Skinner organ of the Cincinnati Museum.
Jean‐Baptiste Robin, one of France’s foremost organists and pupil of Marie‐ Clair Alain and Olivier Latry, wrote his own arrangements of a wildly varying and unashamedly popular selection of works by Albeniz, Barber (the famous Adagio!), Bizet, Bartók, Debussy (incredible colours in the Prélude à l’apresmidi d’un faune!), Liszt, Mahler (Urlicht, sung by a real soprano!), and Rachmaninoff.
A fascinating demonstration of power and subtlety, pump and serenity!
Booklet note by Jean‐Baptiste Robin and full organ specification.
