Daniel Roth Plays an 1897 Ghys Symphonic Organ
Daniel Roth Plays the rare, intact, and restored organ built in 1897 by Jean-Baptiste Ghys (1840-1923) of Dijon, France. Inaugurated in May, 2005, in its new church home of Eglise Sainte-Chantal in Dijon, the organ was built for a Dijon convent where it was unused for decades and never abused. Ghys, a native of Nukerke, Belgium, apprenticed to organbuilding at age 17 and worked in Brussels and then Paris, entering the service of Joseph Merklin in 1865 and supervised the installation of several organs. During the installation of an organ in Dijon in 1869, he met and then married an organbuilder's widow, producing many fine organs in his Dijon workshop. Only the organ recorded here is known to remain unaltered as built by Ghys. Daniel Roth enthusiastically embraces this 21-rank marvel for a magnificently played and well-recorded program.

Totally Spectacular! Perhaps the most influential church musician/organist in mid-19th-century France was Louis-James-Alfred Lefébure-Wély who adapted popular musical styles to church organ music. The result was great appreciation on behalf of most church goers, an exploitation of the new musical resources available on the vanguard organs by Cavaillé-Coll and others, and a backlash from those with "better taste." Astride the malestrom was Cavaillé-Coll, remaining friendly with both sides, each embracing his organs. Lefébure-Wély, the best known and most celebrated organist in France, was organist of The Madeleine in Paris in 1847, where the builder had installed Paris’ first new organ in the symphonic style a year earlier. In 1863, Lefébure-Wély became organist of St-Sulpice. On this CD, Ben van Oosten incomparably plays these works on The Madeleine organ, finding infinite opportunities to explore his enormous musicality as abetted by awesome technique.

Vincent Paulet (b. 1962) Organ Works & Choral Works
Works of Vincent Paulet (b. 1962) seek a new route of expression within modernism, largely rejecting the apparent antagonism of avant-gardism and post-modernism. While freely atonal, his music gradually incorporates elements of an earlier tradition. The relation of time is a key element: listening time cannot be compressed and duration affects the quality of memory. The composer intentionally ended a promising future as a concert organist in 1994 to devote his energies to composition for which he has received many accolades and prizes in international competitions. Véronique Le Guen plays the Pascal Quoirin organ at Saint-Rémy de Provence. The superb Les Éléments Chamber Choir sings as directed by Joël Suhubiette.

He had completed his monumental L’Orgue Mystique in 1932 and composed the Sept Chorals almost simultaneously with Messiaen’s composition of La Nativité. Dupré’s major organ works on the crucifixion, Symphonie-Passion, op. 23, and Le Chemin de la croix, op. 29, had been completed in 1924 and 1931, respectively.$17.98 | | 1899 Henri Didier Organ & Transcriptions

On the Schyven organ in Antwerp Cathedral, described above, Stanislas Deriemaeker plays works composed by Belgians and French composers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Deriemaeker was organist of the Antwerp Cathedral for 40 years, 1962-2002, and was the fourth Antwerp Cathedral organist to play the Schyven organ. The first was Joseph Callaerts who was an early student of Lemmens and was involved in design of the Schyven organ. Another Antwerp organist was Clément d’Hooghe, a Dupré student who died young. Flor Peeters, cathedral organist in Mechelen, composed “Abbey Peace” in 1926. His student, Gabriel Verschraegen, was cathedral organist in Ghent and his compositions are inspired by Gregorian chant as in the chorale prelude on the All Saints Vespers hymn. Deriemaeker was a student of Verschraegen at the Ghent Royal Conservatory. Franck may be the most famous of the Belgian composers on this CD. The others all are French.
