The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe Various Composers. Peter Richard Conte plays hors d’oeuvres by Mendelssohn, Sullivan, Debussy, Wagner and others with extraordinary vitality and grace (DTR CD-9303; Direct-to-Tape Recording Company).Back to core matters, Langlais, a pupil of Tournemire and successor to Franck, wrote prolifically, and his American pupil Ann Labounsky is working towards a complete recorded edition (Musical Heritage Society), with six multi-disc sets accomplished thus far. And, if you can find it, nothing beats the composer’s way, as historic reissues of 1930s performances by Vierne and Widor (plus Dupré and Messiaen) themselves prove (EMI Classics CD-55037).In Garden Grove, California, Frederick Swann knows best how to display the combined effects of 16,000 pipes at the Crystal Cathedral (Gothic CD-49049), while San Diego’s authority on outdoor organs, Robert Plimpton, does his best in revealing the character of the unique Austin instrument, the Spreckels Organ in the Balboa Park Pavillion (Spreckels Organ Society, Box 6726, San diego, Ca 92166).Good luck in the hunt. A charistmatic pianist, conductor and organist, Mendelssohn was the idol of the intellectual crowd. I’ve a particular attachment to the collection of multi-ethnic America works played by Herndon Spillman on the largest American mechanical-action instrument (Titanic CD-205). But who is to say that these beautiful instruments should only play one genre of music? Interpretations are always cogent, imaginative, and involved.
Try Biggs on the famous Flentrop tracker-action organ at Harvard University (Bach Organ Favorites; Sony/CBS MK-42644) or as he explores the multi-choral works of Gabrieli at San Marco Basilica in Venice (CBS/Sony MK-42645). Can’t go wrong.Certain instruments, either because of their size or their site, are automatically appealing. The Naxos discs do have the advantage of low cost and easy availability, while the big Philips set may be maddeningly hard to find, though it’s sure to please.The living godfather of American theatre organists is, unarguably, George Wright, whose early 1950s recordings helped revive interest in this particular branch of the organ art. Madame Alain’s interpretations (Erato) cannot be bettered, though there are many fine alternatives.Don’t overlook the autumnal chorale-preludes and vibrant early works of JOHANNES BRAHMS (1833-1897) which fit neatly on a single disc (Carole Terry on Musical Heritage Society CD-512523); or the famous and infamous works of FRANZ LISZT (1811-1886) (Francois-Henri Houbart on BNL CD-112772, or Stefan Johannes Bleicher, playing the Merseburg Cathedral instrument which Liszt knew, on EBS CD-6017); or the tempestuously post-romantic fantasies of MAX REGER (1873-1916), for whom there was always room for another few notes (Rosalinde Haas has recorded it all, and you can collect the twelve volumes one at a time, on the Dabringhaus & Grimm label, though there are many other options, too).I’ve tried to list discs which are of recent vintage and have some likelihood of actually being available.
A pair of albums made by Eric Lebrun and various Parisian choristers and instrumentalists (Naxos 2CDs 8.553196/77) provides expressive and thoroughly satisfying exposure to these emotive and meticulously crafted gems, while American recitalist Todd Wilson offers the organ works alone on an excellent Schudi instrument in Dallas (Delos CD-3047). And don’t pass over Widor’s grandiose Mass for TwoChoirs and Two Organs (FSM CD-97735).Nearby in Philadelphia, the former Wanamaker Store (recently purchased by May Department Stores, Co.) boasts the largest playable pipe organ in the world, a colossal assembly in chambers rising seven stories above the building’s central Grand Court. Another modern American organ, by Manuel Rosales, provides the venerable Catharine Crozier with all the proper flavors for her tasty sampler of key works by Messiaen, Langlais and Alain (Delos CD-3147).Whether you collect discs of organs, performers, or specific repertoire, don’t limit yourself to what you know, or what you think you’ll like. A more recent Notre-Dame musician, the late Pierre Cochereau, turns in blazingly evocative performances of much of Vierne’s output, using the Notre-Dame instrument, and those works Cochereau didn’t manage to record his disciple George Baker did, at Saint-Ouen-de-Rouen (Solstice 8CD-911/8). Since then, at least six integral symphony cycles have been issued, all of them worthwhile. The Livre de Noels by LOUIS-CLAUDE DAQUIN (1694-1772) is a dozen charmingly colored variations on French Christmas carols, the “pick hits” of mid 18th-century Paris.
