Full of queasy, uncomfortable dissonances, Reges Tharsis (1984) is an indicator of where organ composition went in the years after Vierne’s death. Duruflé’s Requiem , though mainly a choral piece, was born out of the composer’s experimentation on the organ with themes from Gregorian chant, and the instrument still plays a prominent role in the sombre composition.
Toscanini had been conducting the Organ Symphony for 54 years by the time this recording was made. Although derived from a broadcast concert in Carnegie Hall rather than the sterile studio he usually used, there still is only the slightest hint of ambience, and the sound, like the reading, is rather clinical in its sharply-etched detail, and even sounds a bit fierce with prominent winds and ...

Mar 2, 2024 · Earliest ideas. Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, sometimes known as the ‘Choral’, belongs in a different world from the previous eight. It took far longer to compose than any of them – more than six years from start to finish, with some ideas stretching back further still; its complexity on several levels – motivic, tonal and structural – is conspicuously richer than theirs; and it is ...
