Vierne: Symphonies 2 & 3 ~ Louis Vierne
Vierne: Symphonies 2 & 3 ~ Louis Vierne
Great music played by an excellent organist on a wonderful organ!
Organ music in the 19th century French tradition.
Very attractive and not really expensive.
Ashley Grote reveals himself as one of the important organists of our age.
He plays the organ of Gloucester Cathedral.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good and warm music, 9 Mar 2012
All the music on this set is good. An excellent introduction to Janacek.
Especially the pieces conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras are great, both as music and because of the way they have been performed and recorded: Târas Bulba and the Sinfonietta. A real bargain!
Janacek is a Czech composer of the first half of the 20th century. I would call his music expressionistic. Don't be put down by the difficult word. The music is good, warm and colourful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wrong emphasis, 18 Jan 2012
The idea for this series was good. There are wonderful pictures. The only problem is that you see talking heads when you want to see the cathedrals.
The thing you remember best is the face of the presenter. A pity, really.
