Where it came from
Released in 2017 by Atma Classique, this recording captures the inaugural sounds of the Grand Orgue Pierre-Béique at the Maison symphonique de Montréal. The instrument, a custom-built Casavant Frères organ, was commissioned specifically for the hall to provide a tonal range capable of handling both expansive symphonic works and intricate solo literature. This album serves as a definitive showcase of the instrument's mechanical and acoustic capabilities, curated to demonstrate the versatility of the hall's centerpiece.
Jean-Willy Kunz, the first organist-in-residence of the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, selected a program that bridges traditional European masterworks by Bach, Saint-Saëns, and Widor with contemporary compositions. The recording process was meticulously engineered to highlight the unique spatial acoustics of the Maison symphonique, focusing on the clarity and power of the organ's pipes. Upon its release, the album was well-received by critics for its technical precision and its role in documenting a significant moment in the cultural history of Montreal’s classical music scene.
