| Tournemire: The Seven Last Words of Christ
(Sept Chorals - Poèmes d'orgue pour les sept paroles du Xrist) Martin Jean, organ Newberry Memorial Organ, Woolsey Hall, Yale University
Tournemire's rarely recorded, monumental Seven Last Words employs a dense, French late-Romantic style that makes up a musical "program," dramatically depicting the phrases uttered by Christ in his final hours. Featured performer at the 2004 and 2006 AGO conventions, Martin Jean is Professor of organ at Yale University and Director of the Yale Institute of Sacred Music.
