Here is a very interesting recording devoted to little-known works, in particular inventions, rich in teaching (as always with Dupré), both in terms of writing and instrumental playing. And performed, like the rest of this magnificent complete, with the seriousness, rigor, inspiration and talent of Ben Van Oosten.

On Vol. 8 of his recording of Dupre's complete organ works, Ben Van Oosten presents four magnificent works from the composer's middle period, performed on the Beuchet-Debierre organ in Angouleme. I'm sure the neighbors are disappointed in my purchase. I rather enjoy rattling the walls with this one. The instrument is magnificent and the performances more than competent.

I have a number of CDs in Ben Van Oosten's complete recordings of Marcel Dupré and this is one of my favourites. The selection of pieces is varied and interesting, but it's the organ and quality of the recording that is most impressive. The Willis organ at St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin is a magnificent example of the best in British organ building, and the recording captures the power in a way that showcases some of Dupré's most interesting later works.

"…In many ways Dupré may be viewed as a 'Paganini' of the organ - being a virtuoso of the highest order, he contributed extensively to the development of technique (both in his organ music and in his pedagogical works) although, like Paganini, his music is relatively unknown to musicians other than those who play the instrument for which the music was written. A fair and objective critique of his music should take into account the fact that, occasionally, the emphasis on virtuosity and technique can be detrimental to the musical content and substance. However, his more successful works combine this virtuosity with a high degree of musical integrity, qualities found in works such as the Symphonie-Passion, the Chemin de la Croix, the Preludes and Fugues, the Esquisses and Évocation, and the Cortège et Litanie…" ~wikipedia
