About

This new recording presents an anthology of organ compositions written in Europe during the last 70 years. From a stylistic point of view the new organ installed at the Parish Church of Our Lady of Fatima in Pinerolo is suitable for a variety of works: some of a derivative nature (homages to existing styles and musical languages or composers), others completely in line with the experimental nature of new music.

Included are organ works by Ligeti (from his famous Musica Ricercata), Matter, Peretti, Pärt, Essl, Fitkin, Danksagmüller, Bofill Levi, Venturi, Foccroulle, Eben: a wide spectrum of unheard sounds, sonorities, harmonies and rhythms, testing the possibilities of the Dell’Orto e Lanzini organ to the extreme!

Luca Scandali is one of the foremost organists of Italy, having studied with Koopman, Marcon, Tagliavini and Tamminga. He recorded for Brilliant several CD’s, with works by a.o. Galuppi, Pasquini, C.P.E. Bach.

The specifications of the organ as well as extensive liner notes are included in the booklet.

July 2018

There is a slightly odd juxtaposition here: showcasing music from 1951 to 2015 on a new organ by Dell’Orto & Lanzini (2011) built in a 17th-century style. However, with a number of compositions here being retrospective in terms of reinventing older musical forms, the style and character of this instrument lend charm and clarity to music such as Ligeti’s Musica ricercata and Petr Eben’s Hommage à Dietrich Buxtehude. There are some really interesting, more experimental, works here – Pier Damiano Peretti’s Florete flores takes advantage of the meantone temperament. A welcome inclusion is Graham Fitkin’s Watching, featuring Gianpaolo Antongirolami on soprano saxophone.
