Nothing but You (feat. Hemstock & Jennings)

Maurice Duruflé (1902-1986) was one of the highest regarded French composers for the organ in the 20th-century. His Prélude et fugue sur le nom d'Alain op. 7 was composed in 1942 and dedicated to his friend Jehan Alain. Durufle first played the work at the Palias de Chaillot on December 26, 1942, despite the shortage of paper during World War II the piece was published in October 1943. 

Stephen Tharp recorded this work into the midi at Our Lady of Refuge Church, live and unedited at the request of Joe Vitacco. (It is one of Joe's desert island pieces) It was then recorded out of the organ with the church empty of people. This recording's dazzling conclusion matches the heroic conclusion of the restoration of the pipe organ at Our Lady of Refuge Church. 

This organ was restored by A.R. Schopp's Sons and Quimby Pipe Organs. Their work is extraordinary! Thank you to them and the 1500 people who helped pay for this organ's restoration.

Johann Vexo the organist of the Choir Organ at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris recorded an extra track that would not fit on the CD he recorded for JAV Recordings. So we are giving it to you for free in hopes that you find the playing and sound quality so good that you will buy the CD from us!
