Convincing vision of TOCCATA for organ
On November 13 with Maarten Wilmink, to whom the Three Entelechies are dedicated, I went through my "Toccata for organ" for an upcoming Navona Records album: wonderful playing and incredibly nuanced, thoughtful and imaginative registration colors on the 4 manual organ of the Sint Lambertus basilica in Hengelo. Satisfying.
