Music reviews of Organ Fireworks, Vol. 11

Music Review: FIREWORKS...... Plus!
Rating: 5 Stars

Volume 11 of the Hyperion series ORGAN FIREWORKS has chosen the Lay Family
Concert Organ built by C B Fisk Organ Company, Opus 100. This splendid
instrument in the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas Texas is another premiere
installation of a large concert organ in a Symphony Hall.
Christopher Herrick has been the featured organist for this series first
launched in 1984 by the Hyperion Records Company. The entire series has
brought the organ's repertoire into the realm of splendid programming in
spectacularly chosen venues around the world. It has succeeded in bringing
the pipe organ to the "entertainment" level, where many feel it is only a
"church instrument", when in reality these programs have accomplished
several important objectives.
First you have a top notch organist who excels in performing exciting works
that are full of the magnificent orchestral character with which they were
written. Secondly, the sounds that Hyperion have captured in this splendid
series of locations are treasures that many never get to experience. The
repertoire is fresh, not always familiar, but always worth the listen. It
takes a special organist to bring out the true sound colors of the chosen
pieces and Christopher Herrick has proven himself a master at bridging the
selection of works to each of the instruments. His selection of nineteenth
and twentieth-century organ music in nothing short of astounding. He plays
each with the attention to detail and the myriad of sounds never cease to
amaze. Close your eyes and be taken on a musical journey that embodies a
totally enjoyable program of works by Copland, Edwin H. Lemare, Eugene Gigout,
and many new offerings that will beg you to take a second listen.
For instance this Volume has 3 selections that come from the Jazz Inspirations
for Organ from the 1950's; a Marche by Widor, a Choral and Fugue of Guilmant,
the stunning Organ Solo from Leos Janacek's Glagolitic Mass, and a special
piece that has gotton this listeners ear. The Norwegian composer, Mons Leidvin
Takle. The Festmusikk is the last of a group of his pieces called "Dare to live"
and evokes the listener being taken on a captivating tour of a superb fairground.
Extrovet and compelling for the imagination!
If you are curious about the successful programatic approach to a top notch
organ recital in a top notch setting, with top notch instruments, and a top notch
performer, you have come to the right place. Volume 11 is a winner and it can
continue to entice you to experience the remaining 10 CD's that Hyperion has already
brought us before. On a personal note to Hyperion and Christopher Herrick,
please continue this entrancing experience in the very near future. My stereo system
is anxiously awaiting the next offering(s).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
