Transports de Joie: French Organ Music
Featuring Philip Walsh
A thrilling collection of organ music from the modern French school, performed by Philip Walsh on the organ of St. Paul's Cathedral in Wellington, Cathedral. There can be few places in the world where so much organ music was written within such a small geographical area. All of the composers on this recording (except one), worked in Parisian churches and were influenced by the great organ builder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, and they created a remarkably distinctive flavour of music and a whole new sound world.
