Raven announces a new organ recording: 10 Pièces Publié 1894–1923 en L’Orgue Moderne (OAR-208), features Aaron Tan performing on Juget-Sinclair Opus 55 (2024) in the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, Richmond, Virginia (three manuals, 83 ranks).
Included are works by ten composers whose music was printed in the French periodical L’Orgue Moderne, published in Paris between 1894 and 1930 by Leduc, with Charles-Marie Widor and Alexandre Guilmant as editors. Most of the works in L’Orgue Moderne are by Widor’s and Guilmant’s students, former students, or associates, though others are also included among the 70 works published during the periodical’s existence. Many are little-known composers, but some are well known, such as Charles Tournemire and Louis Vierne, published in L’Orgue Moderne before their fame arose. Others include Pierre Kunc, Marcel Lanquetuit, René Vierne, and Henri Mulet.
