French on the Flentrop
1965 Flentrop organ, restored and augmented by Paul Fritts
Saint Mark's Cathedral, Seattle, WA
J. Melvin Butler, organ
Cathedral organist Mel Butler plays a program of French music, from de Grigny to Tournemire. Although it is a Dutch organ, the 1965 Flentrop is surprisingly well-suited to French repertoire. With an abundance of reeds, beautiful flutes and six seconds of reverberation, the organ renders French music in an highly effective style. Mel Butler gives a superb performance, which is captured by our proprietary 24-bit recording technology. Highly recommended!
The organ just jumps out of the speakers from the very start featuring the horizontal trumpets in Balbastre’s Noël . . . Organ recordings seldom get more exciting than this—don’t miss it! — The Organ magazine (UK)

This is the most unusual organ recording in our collection, and it is a masterpiece of invention, symbolism and imagination.
