About

Christopher Herricks ongoing tour of the worlds greatest organs gives rise here to a truly glorious disc from Canada. The 96-stop, 6,551-pipe 2002 Letourneau organ of The Winspear Centre, Edmonton, Canadaa veritable beast of an instrument, described by Herrick as terrific fantastic a very fine instrumentproduces a sound which is, in every sense, awesome. Hyperions engineers have captured the pyrotechnics in all their devastating glory. The programme is varied, starting with an unashamedly jazzy Blues-Toccata and Behnkes version of the South African freedom song We are marching in the light of God, progressing through works by Mulet, Johnson, Durufle and Bonnet, to movements from Iain Farringtons Fiesta!, written for Herricks sixtieth birthday celebrations last year. Crowning proceedings is Liszts epic Fantasia and Fugue on Ad nos, ad salutarem undam, a half-hour extemporization on Meyerbeers theme and one of those organ works which finally won for the instrument a place of its own in the musical firmament, finally emancipated from the church loft and taking centre-stage on the concert platform. For John Rutters Variations on an Easter Theme, Herrick is joined by the Canadian organist Jeremy Spurgeon, here making his debut on Hyperion.
