Product Description
The American Organist, August 1998
"Peter Conte has a flair for this music and plays it all spectacularly. His 'Sunshine Toccata' is delivered with cleanliness and dexterity--two qualities that are all too infrequently found together.
Product Description:
The organ music of Firmin Swinnen, who was the organist for many years for the Longwood Gardens Organ, played to perfection on the Longwood Gardens Organ by Peter Richard Conte, Grand Court Organist for the Wanamaker Organ.
Performing on this disc is Thomas Murray, probably the greatest living concert organist. His light touch, and the pieces he has chosen, do a terrific job of displaying this organ's capabilities. The program includes two movements from "Longwood Sketches," a piece written for this organ by Firmin Swinnen (1885-1972). Swinnen, a native of Belgium, gained renown as a concert and movie organist before being hired in the mid-1920s by Pierre du Pont to perform regularly at Longwood. The "Sketches" are whimsical, romantic pieces that show off the organist's virtuosity and the instrument's many colors.
This is an excellent recording, highly recommended for fans of the concert organ and its repertoire.
