Reflections from Riverside: 5 Riverside Organists in Live Recitals
Organists of the Riverside Church in New York City have gone on to lead some of the most distinguished careers in American church music. In the summer of 2006, the living organists of the church were invited back to play in the church s Tuesday night organ recitals. These were all recorded live and assembled onto this 2-CD set. The repertoire consists of music commissioned for the Riverside organ and musicians that had strong ties to the church. This CD will be an important historical document. It comes with an extensive 32-page booklet containing notes on each composition, biographies of each organist and numerous photographs.
