Montserrat Torrent (organ)About
It is an album integral to the history of these instruments, not only because it is the first to include sound recordings of all four organs on the same disc, but also because of the detailed information about them contained in the booklet. The booklet features detailed registrations of each of the pieces, the dispositions of each organ, and texts introducing the history and particularities of each instrument.
The recording is by the great organist Montserrat Torrent (b. Barcelona, 1926), master of masters and doyenne of Spanish music, winner of the Spanish Ministry of Culture's National Music Prize in 2021. At the age of 97, she is still fully active as a concert performer and is one of the longest-lived performers on the classical music scene.
The repertoire of this album has been chosen by Montserrat Torrent, taking into account the historical period in which each of the organs were built, ranging from 1524 (Golden Chapel organ) to 1755 (Gospel organ). The programme has been devised according to the organ chosen, and sometimes because of the coincidence of the composer and the instrument.
