Wonderful Selections, Flawless Performance.
Christopher Herrick's latest recording, Power of Life, is an incredible collection of seldom-heard organ compositions and transcriptions for organ. Famous for his Organ Fireworks series, Christopher Herrick has consitently shared first-class playing, recordings, and outstanding productions on his CD's. In Power of Life, Mr Herrick's playing is more vigorous and exciting than ever. In addition to his formidable techincal skills, the musicality he brings to each piece always offers the listener a performance unequalled.
The Metzler Organ of Poblet Monastery is a lively instrument with plenty of tonal resources to keep the listener's attention. Herrick's command of registrations demonstrates the vast capabilities of this instrument, from the most delicate string celestes, to the thundering plenum, and thrilling reeds on top of all that!
I highly recommend this recording. In a word—Thrilling!
