Opis: The American Symphonic Organ

Here's a new organ spectacular worthy of the tradition, recorded in 2011 on the mighty EM Skinner organ of Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal (Ohio, USA). The organ is maintained to a superb standard by its curator, Harley V. Piltingsrud, and putting the instrument through its paces with a selection that maintains the venerable tradition of organ arrangements is Jean-Baptiste Robin (1976), one of the most prominent French organists and composers of his generation who studied with Marie-Claire Alain and Olivier Latry.

Robin has made his own arrangements of music that ranges from the elegiac Adagio of Samuel Barber to the mighty Prelude in C sharp minor Op. 3, No.2 that made Rachmaninov's name, taking in Debussy's lush Prélude a l'apres-midi d'un faune and monumental La cathédrale engloutie. There is even room among the Cincinatti organ's huge range of colours for Romanian folk dances by Bartók and 'Urlicht' by Mahler, which became the still turning point of his mighty 'Resurrection' Symphony. Concluding the recital are two original organ works, Liszt's contrapuntal tribute to Bach and Robin's own 'Distant Circles'.
