...The Bamburg performances of this rarely-heard pair of works are as fine as one could ever imagine; obviously very well-prepared and most enthusiastically played. Christian Schmitt follows Widor's registrations as scored and adapts them very well to the 4 manual, 74 sounding stops of his organ, and Stefan Solyom guides the orchestra through Widor's many abrupt tempo changes with great aplomb. More importantly, the orchestral players, particularly the brass, enjoy posing as organ stops, and relish the melodic and dramatic aspects of the music to the manner born.
CPO's production is exemplary; informative and detailed notes on the organ and music are given in German, English and French, and the cover reproduces an attractive landscape painting.
A most enjoyable recording of two excellent but rarely-performed Widor works, which will delight organ and orchestral lovers in equal measure.
