New CD Album released: Metz-o-Mix, Vol. 4steemCreated with Sketch.

in music •  5 years ago 

As usual, the fourth edition of the "Metz-o-Mix" series provides a colorful mixture of replayed and improvised pieces, too — recorded on the probably most symphonic pipe organ, which one may let speak in a living room. And since three organs of this caliber are better than one, the Mutin/Cavaillé-Coll from Notre Dame de Metz this time got prominent support by the Furtwängler & Hammer organ of the Imperial Cathedral ("Kaiserdom") at Königslutter, Germany as well as the Cavaillé-Coll organ of St. Madeleine, Paris.

"O Fortuna" from Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" uses this massive force of the Metz and Kaiserdom organs to literally throw a wall of sound towards the willing listener. In contrary, the Cavaillé-Coll of St. Madeleine accepts the solo challenge with "The Creation of a Divinity" and, in a philosophic manner, tries to make fractions of eternity and omnipotence comprehensible to the listener with the longest final chord ever played and a thundering tutti. A step into the same breach is done by the work of the Belgian composer Jean-Paul Verpeaux, which was created in the context of the devastating fire of April 15th 2019 at the Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris.

As a compensation for the "teaching character", of course a few casual Jazz titles must not be missing, as well as some video game music improvisations...
