Inspired by Maurice Duruflé’s “Prélude, Adagio et Choral varié sur ‘Veni Creator,’” Margaretha Christina de Jong has created a colorful and substantial addition to the contemporary Advent organ repertory.
Keeping in mind her nationality (Dutch) and the characteristics of the contemporary organs of that region, I have decided to pair her piece with the glorious 87 stop “Sonnenorgel” in Görlitz, Germany. Sonus Paradisi, the Hauptwerk producer, has created a spectacular surround sound sample set which is crystal clear, but also showcases the sumptuous acoustics of this cavernous building. It was great fun to “play with” the reverberation as I created this recording.
