EDWIN LEMARE (1865-1934): Organ Symphony No. 1 in G Minor,Op. 35, JOSEPH-GUY ROPARTZ (1864-1955): From 6 Pièces: Prélude funèbre and Sortie, ROBERT PRESCOTT STEWART (1825-1894): Concert Fantasia in D Minor, JEAN GIROUD (1910-1997): Toccata pour l’élévation, HARVEY GRACE (1874-1944): Fantasy-Prelude “Resurgam”.

Description: Only available recording of Lemare’s four-movement, 37-minute symphony (published in 1899) which fittingly, given how much orchestral music Lemare transcribed for his own instrument, like an excellent organ transcription of a late 19th-century Germanic orchestral symphony. No higher praise, etc... David Leigh (organ of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin).
