The perfect recital! A wonderful mixture of old and new. The Bach Gigue Fugue is extraordinary...I've never heard it played so well. The Durufle is gorgeous. The Mormon church is to be congratulated for sharing its extraordinary Tabernacle organ and organists with all of us. The Vierne "Communion" is so atmospheric....as a very young student, I heard Alexander Schreiner play it...and I'm certain that Dr. Schreiner would be pleased by Dr.Elliott's performance. Schreiner played it thoughout his concert career. Prof. Howard's commentary is a model of engaging erudition. Many thanks.
