Our Take

Robert Houssart's "Organ Masterworks" at Gloucester Cathedral is a thrilling ride through the majestic world of organ music. The album opens with a bang, as Houssart's fingers dance across the keys in a whirlwind of sound. From the hauntingly beautiful tones of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor to the exuberant energy of Widor's Toccata from Symphony No. 5, Houssart showcases his virtuosic talent with flair.

The real standout on this album, however, is Houssart's interpretation of Messiaen's Livre du Saint Sacrement. The sprawling compositions are brought to life by Houssart's deft touch and emotional depth, creating a truly immersive listening experience. Each movement is a journey in itself, with Houssart guiding the listener through a landscape of sound that is both awe-inspiring and deeply moving.

Throughout the album, the acoustics of Gloucester Cathedral add an extra layer of richness to the already sumptuous sound of the organ. The grandeur of the space enhances the grandeur of the music, creating a truly magical atmosphere that will transport you to another world.

In conclusion, Robert Houssart's "Organ Masterworks" is a masterclass in organ playing, showcasing the full range of the instrument's capabilities in all its glory. Whether you're a seasoned organ enthusiast or a casual listener looking for something new and exciting, this album is sure to delight and inspire. Don't miss out on this musical gem – it's an experience you won't soon forget.
