About

Through the E.M. Skinner Organ at the Church of the Transfiguration in Orleans, Massachusetts, Dr SharonRose Pfeiffer gives voice to works by master composers from the Baroque to the twentieth century. Recorded on Super Audio CD this disc creates a surround-sound experience, enabling listeners to hear the full effect of this organ. In a unique design by Nelson Barden & Associates of Boston, the organ pipes line the north and south side aisles the full length of the church, allowing the entire building to sing.

Dr Pfeiffer, winner of a Fulbright scholarship, spent a year in Toulouse, coaching with the late composer and organist Xavier Darasse. She won first prize in the prestigious Concours Internationale des Arts Renaissances, and was named one of America’s Outstanding Organists by the Organ Historical Society for this solo album, Illuminations. Dr Pfeiffer is also featured on Olivier Messiaen: The Mystical Colors of Christ.

“Spectacular – overwhelming amazing artistry – a SOUND FOR THE AGES! If you were looking to have one recording that showed the best organ, the best music from many eras, played by the best artist… THIS IS THE ONE!” – Soli Deo Gloria
