Philip Kloeckner masterfully demonstrates the vast resources of the Fisk-Rosales organ at Rice University in Houston, Texas in this new recording. The combination of instrument and room under Kloeckner's hands bring this repertoire to life with exceptional vitality. The French repertoire is naturally suited to this instrument, while the registration choices for the Scheidt testify to its flexibility. Kloeckner is the authoritative source on the Isoir variations, having worked with the composer to produce the edited, revised, and re-published version of this work which won the 1974 composition prize from Les Amis de l'Orgue.
