This is “Esordio” the opening movement from Organ Symphony IV, “Ave Maria” (Op. 201). It was premiered at the former Salone Perosi in Milan on 21 November 2007 and performed again five days later at Tortona Cathedral.
This recording was made using samples of the Mutin/Cavaillé-Coll organ, Notre-Dame de Metz, France, sampled by Milan Digital Audio http://www.milandigitalaudio.com . (As such, it is a virtual recording and does not claim to be an on-site recording of the instrument.) Warmest thanks to Jonathan Orwig of Evensong Music http://evensongmusic.net for this demo.
