Trois Danses de Jehan Alain (Joies - Deuils - Luttes) - Jean Baptiste Robin

L'orgue Cavaillé Coll / Beuchet Debierre / Dargassies sonne magnifiquement sous les doigts de JB Robin. Poésie, technique, tout est là pour enchanter l'auditeur.

Fascinating contrast to most other French organists, who unsurprisingly choose some of France's magnificent Cavaillé-Coll instruments. Though it had a Cavaillé-Coll rebuild, only 6 stops survive, this organ being essentially as designed by Maurice Duruflé and what a creation! Much as I love the power of those C-C organs and wonderfully mysterious reeds in these pieces, this recording has extra clarity, both in quiet passages, as well as full organ, with many very beautiful individual stops, bringing out new sonorities, while still sounding very French.
