Synopsis
Album Description
The remarkable organ works of Camille Saint-Saëns (1835?1921) were long neglected as being rather too classical compared to the prevailing taste for French organ romanticism. The utmost clarity of the voices, the elegance and natural melody ? as well as the research of form perfection ? are characteristic of his work and confer to his compositions for organ a refinement of great subtlety. As a result of his successful concert performances, radio & television productions and more than 30 CD recordings (all of which have been well received), Stefan Johannes Bleicher (b. 1962) is considered one of the leading organ soloists of his generation. Bleicher studied concert organ with Lionel Rogg in Geneva and Ewald Kooiman in Amsterdam. He also studied historical performance practice with Nikolaus Harnoncourt at the Mozarteum in Salzburg.
