Justin Bischof recording

Raven announces a new organ CD: Justin Bischof, Organist (OAR-207), featuring Bischof performing the first recording on the Klais Orgelbau organ built for the Episcopal Church of St. James the Less in Scarsdale, New York. Dedicated to Bischof’s mentor, McNeil Robinson, the program includes Robinson’s Dismas Variations and Hommage à Messiaen, Bischof’s transcription of Richard Wagner’s “March to the Holy Grail” from Parsifal, and Prelude and Fugue on B-A-C-H by Franz Liszt. As well, Bischof improvises a four-movement St. James Scarsdale Symphony and a suite of nine pieces. The recording is available as a CD and streaming or downloads worldwide.

As music director of the Scarsdale parish from 2007 until 2017, Bischof was a catalyst instigating, conceiving the tonal design, and raising funds for the 65-stop Klais organ completed in 2017. The organ is housed in five cases—two located on each side of the divided chancel and a freestanding case at the back of the nave for the ten-stop antiphonal organ. A four-manual movable console plays the organ via electric action to slider windchests, with other actions for some bass pipes and a few duplexed or extended ranks.

More of What I Do on Sundays, Volume 2

Raven announces a new organ recording, More of What I Do on Sundays, Volume 2, The Liturgical Year: Daniel Sañez Improvises (OAR-205), featuring Sañez improvising on the 2024 Juget-Sinclair Opus 55 in Sacred Heart Catholic Cathedral, Richmond, Virginia, with 67 stops, 87 ranks, the first album recorded on this instrument. 

The improvisations are on chant melodies associated with dates and seasons of the liturgical year, such as Advent, Christmas, Easter, etc., on ten tracks of the album. The first track, “Entrada,” is a highly spirited procession improvisation realized on an original theme and uses the Spanish characteristics of the organ, especially the horizontal trumpet stops as well as a drum effect and a flock of birds. 

For a review of Sañez’s Volume 1, see the December 2024 issue, pages 11–12.
