I must confess: I know Jehan Alain thanks to the Renaissance's masterpiece "Running hard". Now though: goose bumps!

Absolutely fantastic!

Thank you!

Petur if Jehan was alive he would have loved the skill you have to beautifully deliver this magnificent piece, your playing of this is without doubt certainly the best I ever heard and when I feel a bit low it lifts my spirits. The accuracy is incredible. I first heard this in England many many years ago on the Lichfield cathedral organ , I was blown away by its beauty and intricacy then, then to learn about Jehan, what an incredible man, Petur you do it justice, thank you.

Magnificent performer, magnificent instrument, extraordinary piece (worth researching the pain and loss Alain experienced due to the sudden and unexpected tragic death of his beloved older sister, which resulted in his composing these “invocations”, “Litanies”), fully realized by this conjunction of brilliance.

[@EmeraldPixelGamingEPG]

This is spectacular, especially the ending with 6 notes for the left hand lol

[@erceeproducties6486]

Brilliant!

[@janmoeyaert9011]

Fantastic piece! Great organ. I personally find the performance too rushed and hurried. A big church needs more breathing time between sections

[@dnwitte]

Yep.

[@bombarde1701a]

New CD?

Not yet! There is a CD from Saint-Étienne-du-Mont by me for BIS Records. Check it out if You are interested (Tournemire, Duruflé, Dupré etc). Next year will come out several recordings as I have started to record the Complete Works by César Franck and Louis Vierne, beside some contemporary stuff.
