Organ Music
Label: BRILLIANT Catalog: BRI95160 Format: CD MARCO RUGGERIA leading contemporary music critic once wrote concerning Vincenzo Antonio Petrali (1830-1889), of who's music there is only one other survey on record, "I have heard Saint Säens, Lemmens, Guilmant, Lèfevre and Widor – and I have earned the right to be difficult and demanding. As an improviser, Petrali need fear no comparison: he has a highly personal, characteristic style which sets him apart as being unique." Organist Marco Ruggeri, first prize winner of the International Organ Competition of St. Elpidio a Mare and the Harpsichord Competition of Bologna, has selected repertoire from throughout Petrali's career in order to paint a vivid portrait of this extraordinary composer's development.
