Description: Devotees of Germanic violin/organ music - generally in slow tempos, generally polite, keeping most emotions beyond fervent devotion completely under wraps - will love the first 45 minutes of this recital. Then Canadian Burge shows us what this neglected genre can do with all the resources of 20th century compositional techniques. Anne Robert (violin), Jacques Boucher (organ of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Montréal).
