L'Orgue Monumental
Peter Eilander at St. Sulpice Dutch organist Peter Eilander describes his experience of the Cavaillé-Coll masterpiece at St. Sulpice as “Magnificent, colorful, and mind-blowing.” This program of works both French and showing French influence demonstrates his obvious delight in the enormous variety of the organ’s timbres. With consummate skill and facility, Eilander performs works of several Dutch composers that will be a welcome encounter for listeners who have not heard them.
