This live LPO recording from Londons Southbank Centre marks the first release featuring the newly refurbished Harrison and Harrison Royal Festival Hall organ. From the first earth-shattering chord of the Poulenc to the thrilling finale of the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony, it was clear that this is an instrument of hugely impressive proportions. Among organist James ODonnells numerous awards and honors for his recordings are the Gramophone Award for Record of the Year in 1998 for his recording of Masses by Martin and Pizzetti for Hyperion.
