Immerse yourself in the rich, resonant world of organ concertos with Ian Tracey's captivating album, "Poulenc, Widor & Guilmant: Organ Concertos." Released in 1994 under the Chandos label, this choral masterpiece showcases Tracey's virtuosity alongside the BBC Philharmonic, conducted by Yan Pascal Tortelier. The album is a testament to the grandeur and depth of French organ music, featuring works by three eminent composers: Francis Poulenc, Charles-Marie Widor, and Alexandre Guilmant.
The album opens with Poulenc's Organ Concerto in G Minor, a piece that exudes a sense of solemnity and introspection. Following this, Widor's Symphony No. 1 for Organ and Orchestra, Op. 42, unfolds in three movements, each offering a unique blend of pastoral serenity and dynamic intensity. The album concludes with Guilmant's Symphony for Organ, Op. 42 No. 5, a five-movement work that spans a range of emotions, from the lively Allegro vivace to the reflective Adagio, culminating in a triumphant Toccata.
With a total runtime of 1 hour and 2 minutes, this album is a comprehensive exploration of the organ's expressive capabilities. Ian Tracey's masterful performance, coupled with the BBC Philharmonic's nuanced accompaniment, makes this a standout recording in the classical music repertoire. Whether you're a seasoned classical enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album promises an enriching and enjoyable listening experience.
