Klangforum Wien

Description:

This album uses the Father Wills organ at Salisbury Cathedral, built in 1876 and still sounding wonderful today, despite repairs and restoration. Its deep tone is a wonderful companion to Franck's works. It also includes a chorale written the year of Franck's death. It is performed by John Challenger, Deputy Director of Music at Salisbury Cathedral, who has already released an Elgar album on the same instrument (Regent label) to great acclaim. This album is the first release on Salisbury Cathedral's own label. Naxos Japan
