Bernhard Leonardy presents works ranging from French romanticism to contemporary organ music on this SACD, produced in cooperation with the Saarland Broadcasting Company. One unifying element, the concept of justice so central to Christian faith, is common to all the works included here. This elite form of organ playing has lost none of its fascination since the Baroque: it is indeed living liturgy.
