Organ Sensation

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
"The organ sound is rich and dense, maintaining its focus when loud, and the recorded perspective is ideal...low bass is almost scary. If you have a subwoofer, prepare to have your eardrums pressurized." - THE ABSOLUTE SOUND

Felix Hell still in his teens, is the most talked-about artist in the organ world. This is his first recording on an American label. The massive Schoenstein organ in Lincoln, Nebraska is ideal for these romantic blockbusters. Well-known, melodic and dynamic repertoire captured in high-tech, state-of-the-art sonics. "Prof." Johnson's brilliant HDCD recording has received widespread acclaim for its clarity and power. "This is a real triple-treat: Felix's brilliant performance, a most remarkable organ, and recording by RR in HDCD sound. Recording organs is not an easy task [but] this CD gets it all right." - D.A. CAMPBELL, PIPORG-L.COM

5 out of 5 stars a great debut.......2006-04-20

The Charms first cd is reminicent of early Blondie. The hot blonde female singer and the ever present farfisa organ. It rocks a bit harder than those first few Blondie albums, but has a bit of the same light, fun feel.

5 out of 5 stars Felix Hell Organ Sensation.......2006-12-25

This CD is an overview of what the young professional organist can do with the classical organ repertoire. The choice of pieces reflect the various moods of execution to a particular purpose : performance.

The selection of pieces is for sure, bright and uneasy one, starting with the First Sonata of Guilmant and its acrobatic final, the Final of Vierne's First Symphony, followed by two monumental masterpieces from Franz Liszt B-A-C-H and the Ad Nos, ad Salutarem Undam. The only meditative piece is from Rheinberger, Abendfriede, which serves here as smooth transition between Guilmant and Vierne.

For sure, Felix Hell brings lot of fresh air in the conservative world of organ. Furthermore, the performer who's already worldwide known as a north American star with a personal touch, is a grant holder from Julliard School.

This CD is just a preview of what Felix Hell can do live in concert. Hope the best for a bright future.
