Foss: The Prairie - Andrew Clark        (3 of 3 found this review helpful)
  February 9, 2014

This wonderful recording was made in Mechanic's Hall, Worcester, Massachusetts, in 2007 and released in 2008.

This is an album of great things. It features the great Daniel Roth playing great French 20th century compositions on the great Cavaillé-Coll organ in the great church of Saint-Ouen in Rouen, France.

About the music: it is all 20th-century American compositions, from four composers with close ties to the BSO. Windsurfer comments that "one has to develop an ear for this sort of thing", but don't be ... more
  June 16, 2011

This is an album of songs mostly by Stevie Wonder, sung by Jen Chapin, with Stephan Crump on bass (plucked and bowed) and Chris Cheek on saxophones. The style is spare contemplative acoustic jazz (with some subtle electronic embellishments); being only a trio, the musicians are highly exposed. It is ... more

From the description of portative organs in Wikipedia, these instruments seem to small to generate the sound on this SACD. Could "positive" organs have been used? ... more

Can anybody tell us how the organs in this SACD were recorded? Did they have two pipe organs in the studio, or were they electronic, or did they use overdubbing? ... more
