About

David John Pike, one of Canada’s leading baritone singers, and the great English organist David Briggs present Mahler - Orchestral Songs: The Organ Transcriptions, an astounding new album offering renditions of three cycles of lieder by Gustav Mahler. The recording of these opulent scores on the phenomenal new Eule organ at the Konstantin-Basilika in Germany, has an immediate appeal. The organ’s tonal spectrum and the wondrous acoustic of the basilica give a unique and thrilling dimension to the music.

Reviews

The large, new Eule organ in the Konstantin-Basilika equips Briggs with an extensive and expressive palette, and the sound magically envelops the voice aided by the acoustics which, as Briggs himself concludes, add ‘a unique and thrilling dimension’. Pike’s rich sound is complemented by a compelling emotional connection with the poet’s anguish. This is a tremendously captivating album and I recommend it highly.
