Synopsis

Album Description

This is the second disk by American organist James Warren on an English Cathedral organ. The Harrison organ in Coventy was commisioned when the decision was made to rebuild the cathedral following the bombing during November, 1940. Cuthbert Harrison said it was his finest. The digital recording is very clear and one can hear the 5 second reverb in the cathedral, and the brilliant French reeds, German baroque flues and the best of the English ensemble. The improvisations are again by the best of cathedral organists and other composers. The literature is American, English, German and French - truly an eclectic collection on a brilliantly eclectic organ in one of Europe's great spaces.

CD Reviews

Warren Does It Again!

Peter E. Deneen | Traverse City, MI United States | 08/30/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Organist James Warren's new CD HOW BRIGHLY SHINES THE MORNING STAR is a wonderful sequel to his earlier recording ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. Again, Warren presents an enjoyable variety of improvisations on well-known hymn tunes from the console of a truely remarkable instrument: the Harrison and Harrison Organ in the Cathedral of St. Michael in Coventry, England. Personally, I find this recording even more interesting than the first, as the first contained settings of hymn improvisations by purely English composers. This new recording features works set by everyone from J.S. Bach to Healey Willan, from Johann Pachelbel to Dale Wood. Even the production quality seems more clear here than on the previous recording, and Mr. Warren's seemingly effortless technical work allows the music to dance and sparkle.Professional organists and novice listeners alike will enjoy this new release. As with his previous recording, James Warren's HOW BRIGHTLY SHINES THE MORNING STAR is lovely enough for background accompaniment to your morning ritual; but interesting enough for serious, undistracted, cathedral-volume listening!"
