Review by Fidel Amos

The album "Oeuvres dorgue" by Alexandre Guilmant and Joris Verdin is a delightful collection of organ music that is sure to please the ears of any classical music lover. The album features performances by Joris Verdin, a renowned Belgian organist, on the historic Cavaillé-Coll organ in the Saint-Sulpice church in Paris.

The album contains a total of 13 tracks, each showcasing Guilmant's exceptional skills in composing for the organ. Verdin's masterful playing brings out the full range of the organ, from its thunderous bass to its delicate high notes. The tracks are arranged in a way that allows the listener to appreciate the full range of Guilmant's musical genius.

One standout track on the album is "Sonata No. 5 in C Minor," which is one of the most popular pieces in Guilmant's repertoire. Verdin's interpretation of this piece is both powerful and nuanced, highlighting the intricate interplay between the different voices of the organ.
