Andriessen: Four Chorals And Other Organ Music
) | Label: BRILLIANT Catalog: BRI94958 Format: CD The organ works of the important 20th c. Dutch composer Hendrik Andriessen (1892‐1981) are firmly rooted in his Roman‐Catholic faith and its church music tradition. • His monumental Chorales are modeled on César Franck’s Chorales: the grand symphonic conception, the spiritual depth and the harmonic language. • The Theme and Variations is perhaps his best‐known organ work, the theme, launched in formal Baroque splendor, pursues artful imitations of earlier models from the French and Italian schools. • Performed by Benjamin Saunders on the magnificent Grand Organ of Leeds Cathedral.
