By that headline, I'm asserting that this is a beautiful CD, excellently recorded, beautifully played with true sensitivity and artistry, with excellent registrations and good tempi for the extra-large space and reverberation this building offers! My sole objection here is that he could have opened up (much) more for the Franck Chorale #2 - it's NOT supposed to be restrained, especially just because it was meant to fit right after the Vierne and before the Dupré selections; otherwise, everything ...

I'm a big fan of Mr. Murray's organ playing. In fact I love it as much as I detest his fellow American Newman.
The acoustic of this huge cathedral is captured nicely on this wonderful CD ... especially the ear splitting State Trumpet (listen to tracks 1 and 2). There is a delicious account of Widor (one of the movements from Symphony 6 is perfect and makes me hanker for the whole cycle on this monsterous organ.
It's a shame that organ CDs seem to be hotch potch collections ... Read More

This particular michael murray recording makes up for the lack of recordings of the magnificent organ in St. John Divine.

I bought this CD several years ago, and I never get tired of listening to it. Michael Murray gives his usual brilliant rendition of some of the world's greatest organ music in a setting with vibrant accoustics as St. John the Divine is one of the largest churches in the US. This should be required listening for any organ enthusiast.
