| | Mighty Organs CD
MIGHTY ORGANS is a recording devoted not only to music written around the organ, but to the specific instruments themselves. Included in the liner notes are specifics about the history and construction of the instruments here, a reminder of the inextricable link between performance and musical instrument unique to the organ world. Of course, this is also a collection of great and diverse organ pieces, which highlight the organ not only as a solo instrument, but an ensemble one as well. The Voluntary for Trumpets and Organ by Croft is a pre-Baroque work, buoyant and dance-like with pedal percussion, in three sections, the full ensemble joining in the balanced third.
The performances are first rate. Glenn Gould's rendition of Contrapuntus' No. 1 and No. 2 from 'Art of the Fugue' (one of Bach's final works) is striking, distinctive in color and idiomatically smart, performed on the Casavant organ in Toronto. The 'Organ' Symphony of Saint-Saëns is a unique work, played by organist Anthony Newman with beautiful expressiveness. This recording brings together performances of very high talent, and for organ aficionados or newcomers to the instrument this disc will be a find.

"Though the tall, dark, devastatingly handsome guitarist Greg Pearce has yet to master certain tasks (eg, performing tricks on swinging trapezes, breakdancing, and making palatable omelets), there's no arguing with the fact that, as far as music is concerned, there's nothing this artist can't do. His debut classical CD, "Sometime in April", offers proof that his formidable skill as a musician is not limited to any particular style or genre: Rather, he makes a startlingly adept transition to classical guitar from the rock and jazz guitar-playing for which he is known and envied."The disc's nineteen tracks cover an impossible range of etudes and preludes from composers as varied as Bach (Prelude in C), Villa-Lobos (Prelude in E minor), Sor (Estudio in A major), Satie (Gymnopedie no. 1), Carcassi (Etude in A), and Tarrega (Una Vision en la Torre del Diablo). The ambitiousness of the featured selections may have been dangerous for other artists, but, thanks to his unique, eloquent interpretations, Pearce pulls it all elegantly off and never disappoints. The impressive quality ...
