Overview

This core reference release from Naxos initiates a masterly multi-volume exploration of the complete organ legacy of Jehan Alain, a brilliant French composer tragically killed in action during World War II at the age of 29. Recorded inside the Church of Saint-Antoine des Quinze-Vingts in Paris from June 13th to 17th, 1995, the album features distinguished French virtuoso Eric Lebrun playing the historic, powerful Cavaillé-Coll organ. The carefully curated program features foundational modern twentieth-century milestones, including Litanies, Le Jardin Suspendu, and the evocative Variations sur un thème de Clément Janequin, effortlessly balancing radical tonal architecture with mystical, fluid impressionism.
