In this 2012 CD release from organist Ken Cowan, we hear the Great Organ of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York City, restored in 2008, in a program that features a breadth of tone color and an ample helping of virtuosity. The program includes solo organ works by Maurice Duruflé, Marcel Dupré, Sigfrid Karg-Elert, George Thalben-Ball, Henri Mulet, Eugene Gigout, Richard Wagner (Lemare transcription) and Healey Willan. In the German impressionist work Fugue, Canzone and Epilog by Sigfrid Karg-Elert, Ken is joined by his wife, violinst Lisa Shihoten, and 4 vocalists from Westminster Choir College.
