Description:

Powerful sound pressure and meltingly beautiful sound. A superb duo of God's instruments, trombone and organ! A duo album by James Box, principal trombonist of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, and Jean-Willy Kunz, principal organist. This is a luxurious acoustic album using the huge organ at the Maison Saint-Phonique, the orchestra's home base. The trombone and the organ have a long history, and both have been used as instruments to speak the word of God in the world of church music. The exceptional beauty of their sacred and pious tones is not compromised in any way by modern instruments, and the duet is a heart-rending experience. The sound is powerful, yet full of air, and the music is magnificent and rich, pouring down with tenderness. The final track, Danny Boy, was arranged by both players and is a moving track with beautiful sounds that sparkle like light. The album title, "The Pipes are Calling," is a line from Danny Boy's lyrics. King International
