All American Works for Violin & Organ, Volume 5
The Murray/Lohuis Duo presents their fifth volume of works composed for violin and organ. This volume of melodious show-stoppers, some ravishing effects, and brilliant encore pieces, all composed by Americans, takes one’s breath away! The organs are both in Richmond, Virginia: the 1954 Austin, op. 2218, with tonal revisions by Guzowski & Steppe in 1991 at Reveille United Methodist Church, and the 1951/68 Aeolian-Skinner op. 1110 at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church.
