RR-98CD
[HDCD]

Ever since Pomp & Pipes!, we've had many requests for MORE ORGAN MUSIC!

In 1988, "Prof." Keith Johnson recorded this CD to be sold only at St. Mary's Cathedral.   Reference Recordings has obtained rights to issue it in a newly re-mastered edition with superior graphics and entirely new music notes.   Hear some of the most spectacular organ music ever written, brilliantly played on a huge Ruffatti instrument in a superb acoustical environment: works by Jeremiah Clarke, Johann Walther, Claude Balbastre, Julius Reubke, Charles Marie Widor and many more - including the "Carillon" by Louis Vierne, which was not on the original release!
