About this product
The legendary late American organist, composer and pedagogue McNeil Robinson was especially prized for his skill at improvisation a rare discipline largely restricted to European masters of the organ. Many distinguished composers of his day-including Marcel Dupré, Ned Rorem, Lukas Fossand Vincent Persichetti-were his regular collaborators, providing thematic materials for his peerless improvisatory events. Robinson himself regarded this revelatory March 21, 2006 performance of improvisations on the fourteen Stations of the Cross-a treasured ritual of sacred Christian liturgy-as the finest of his improvisatory efforts. His dying wish was to have it released to the musical public as the pinnacle of his storied legacy, hence this marvelous live recording of the event.

For all it's charm and elegance, Lennox Berkeley' unique compositional voice is marked in his sacred choral music by an inner conviction borne of a strong personal faith. In this regard he mirrored his lifelong friend Francis Poulenc.

Resonus Classics is proud to the world premiere recording of Giles Swayne's epic organ work Stations of the Cross with acclaimed organist Simon Nieminski. Recorded on the Matthew Copley organ of St Mary's Metropolitan Cathedral in Edinburgh, this extensive solo work is at the pinnacle of virtuosic organ repertoire, with each of it's fourteen movements representing an episode in the story of the Passion of Christ. Composed during autumn 2004 and early 2005, and one hour in length, Stations is one of the most significant and substantial organ works composed in recent times. Focusing on those human aspects of the Passion most important to Swayne, he has created an intensely powerful and descriptive work.
