Joseph Ripka is one of the finest performers of his generation. He displays a complete understanding of vocal art with his rendition of the “Meditation” by Litaize and an all encompassing technical and musical skill with his performance of Dupre's “Trois Préludes et Fugues” Opus 7. Dupre is Ripka, Ripka is Dupre! Bravo Joseph!🎉

Amazing Joseph. I remember the B maj Dupré you played at Saint Sulpice with Daniel Roth next to you.
