The Twelve Pieces for Organ of César Franck is a definitive collection of the composer’s works for organ, performed by the Montreal-based organist and composer Pierre Grandmaison, himself a protégé of Maurice Duruflé. Franck’s extraordinary compositions revolutionized the organ repertoire and laid the foundations for future composers, including Widor, Vierne, Tournemire and Dupré. These works were recorded in Montréal’s Notre-Dame Basilica on the magnificent Casavant organ, which has been played by all the great 20th-century French organists. The Notre-Dame instrument was the first 4-manual (81 stops) Casavant organ, and the largest in the country at the time of its installation in 1891. A must-have recording for all organ music enthusiasts! | | | (also available to download from $21.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. (Available now to download.) |

“Here we have a Franck set that is compelling not only because of Naxos' low cost, but also because of the quality of the performances, informative notes, good recorded sound, and an instrument appropriate for the music itself. The result is both a treat to the ears and a good representation of what it may have been like to hear Franck at his instrument. Naxos gives us thoughtful performances on an exemplary instrument at a very reasonable price.” Andante, June 2001 | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

Hans-Eberhard Roß (Goll Organ of St. Martin, Memmingen) After the successful release of César Franck’s complete organ works on 3 double SACDs audite now presents these recordings in a 6-CD boxed set. This complete edition naturally includes the 12 major well-known works of this composer. In addition to these, it contains many smaller treasures of the repertoire among them at least 40 minutes of music which were presented as first recordings in the original SACD release: The works for harmonium are available here in their entirety in their versions for organ, as are two organ works discovered during the 1970s and 1980s, also new to the recording medium. Besides these aspects of completeness, the present complete production is marked by the special sound of the Goll Organ. Its warm, soft sound, resulting from widely constructed pipes, creates an unobtrusive power and fullness; the essence of the French Cavaillé Organs has been preserved and further developed in this instrument. Hans-Eberhard Roß, Cantor of the Deanery St. Martin in Memmingen, was decisively and authoritatively involved in the planning and disposition of this organ. Interested music lovers can call up the exact registrations of all the pieces from www.audite.de simultaneously with this issue, as well as short videos about the construction of the organ. The 64pp bilingual booklet gives detailed information about this production. “Roß is note-perfect and the sound of the Goll is thrillingly spacious.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2012 “Ross is a fine player and an excellent scholar: every one of these performances, especially of the great works, has to be taken very seriously indeed: his registration and tempos are admirable … It must be clear, with such a combination of scholarship and musicianship as has attended the planning and realization of this set, that the result is an issue of which any organist and record company should be justly proud … and enlightening experience.” The Organ, Spring 2013 | | | (also available to download from $21.00) | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days.
