...Organist Ulrich Meldau gives a demonic performance helped ably by the Symphonic Orchestra of Zurich under director Daniel Schweizer. For fillers we get "La Chasse" and "Trois Nouvelles Pieces" for organ solo, the latter being very nearly the last score that Widor composed. Motette's balance engineers deliver first-class sound, full and rich, and no doubt hard to achieve with such overpowering forces. Highly recommended.
