contrabordun Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 He's too modest to mention it himself on here, but Regent have recorded fellow Board Member Paul Carr in what is, suprisingly, the first solo recording of the 1994 Walker at St Chad's Birmingham.

wolsey Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 It looks excellent. The Dupré 'Esquisses No 1 and No 2' are really the second and third though; the first was published separately posthumously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprondel Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 The Ravel transcription works surprisingly well, considering that it is taken from one of the most refined scores in all orchestral music on this planet. Most of all I like how Paul Carr handles the tempo here, as he treats it relentlessly symphonic. Never any allowance for a piston here or a finger-change there. It all flows seamlessly, which makes up for most of what the organ (any organ) lacks compared to the impressionist orchestra. Most impressive!
