Music for Lent – Austin organ (1960) – Hartford Cathedral (Connecticut) – März 2017
Excellent review of the double CD by “Organists‘ Review” – December 2016 (reviewer : David Baker).
„This is a splendid recording“ [..] „It is clear that Loreto Aramendi is a very special player performing on an outstanding instrument“ [..] „Aramendi’s total command of the instrument makes these two CDs worthy of special praise“
„Exemplary nature of playing“ [..] „Playing and interpretation of a very high standard thanks to the performer’s stunning technique and her command of the registrational complexities of both the organ and the composition“

A modo de preludio de la inauguración de la exposición Estimulantes: Circulación y Euforia comenzará con una colaboración con la Orquesta Sinfónica de Euskadi. Un conjunto de cámara interpretará Schweigt Stille, Plaudert Nicht, BWV 211 “Cantata del Café” o, en su versión original “Silencio, no habléis”, una de las obras las obras más logradas de Johann Sebastian Bach en el campo de la música profana y en la que el compositor expone su amor por el café.
We are very happy to receive these great review from „The Sydney Organ Journal“, Australy.
Loreto Aramendi’s 2014 double-CD recording on the Cavaille-Coll Organ of Santa Maria San Sebastian is a fine example of absolute musicianship, sound technique and utter command over the instrument.[…] Cesar Franck‘ s Prelude, Fugue and Variations along with Piece Heraque also feature on the recording. Aramendi’s rendition of these works remains faithful to the musical score with accurate execution and ‚lyrical‘ playing of the haunting melodies of Franck. […] Aramendi captures the full essence of the Brahms‘ Choral Preludes, full of emotion and expressive quality. […] Aramendi uses the San Maria organ to its capacity using almost every single stop combination. She delivers a striking performance that rings through the entire Basilica throughout the marathon of a work. Overall this is a very sound recording with accurate yet exciting playing on the stunning Cavaille-Coll instrument.
