I've just recorded this to commemorate International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Hauntingly beautiful, sorrowful remembrance of a 10-year-old child by Louis Vierne from his Tryptique Op. 58 

 


"Memorial for a dead child"

Here is Vierne's description of the circumstances under which he wrote it:
„Stèle pour un enfant défunt was written in the memory of a poor urchin, who died at the age of ten, under dreadful circumstances. He was a precocious little being, sensitive far beyond his years, named Jean de Brancion. As an old friend of the family, I was grief-stricken at his tragic passing. In a kind of votive offering dedicated to his memory, I refrained from conventional obsequiousness; there was nothing appropriate to express my sorrow, merely a suggestion of sadness through an illusory poetry; that was what I tried to achieve."

Vierne died at the organ console of Notre-Dame de Paris, moments after finishing playing this piece, on June 2nd, 1937.

Stele pour en enfant defunt Louis Vierne played by Greg Hartay-Szabo

I was just practicing tonight and felt like recording one of the pieces.  Beethoven's Sonata No. 14 in C# minor Op. 27 No. 2, or otherwise known as 'Quasi una fantasia' or the 'Moonlight Sonata'.  I recorded this on a Steinway D and mastered it in my mastering studio www.alpinemastering.com  

Hope you all enjoy.
