Ospital’s playing is profoundly musical, his Bach playing considered and lyrical. Thierry’s Escaich’s Six Études-Chorals were written for one of the most high-profile hyper-organs to date: Ansgar Wallenhorst’s instrument at Ratingen. There are fewer surprises here, though: Escaich’s ethereal suggestions of Lutheran chorals, violent cross-rhythms and Stravinsky-like repeated chords are by now quite familiar – which isn’t to say this first recording is any less than captivating.
