CD Orgue St Ouen – Loreto Aramendi

***** 5 stars – « Highly recommended [..] Never heard the Cavaillé-Coll of St Ouen handled so adeptly [..] Loreto Aramendi gets to the heart of all these pieces with effotless style and considerable flair [..] Louis Robilliard provides masterful arrangments of works including Rachmaninov’s L’île des morts and Fauré’s suite Pelléas et Mélisande ».

__Choir & Organ.

“A Version of reference” […] “Magic sound” […] “Orchestral magic” […] “Réussite portée à son paroxysme avec le poème symphonique de Rachmaninov” […] “Recital accrocheur et profondément abouti”.

__Review by in ResMusica – October 2017.

„Die in einem kleinen baskischen Örtchen geborene Interpretin liefert hier ein wahres Meisterstück ab“ […] „Dies allerdings auch dank Aramendis fabelhafter und ganz klar pianistisch geschulter Spieltechnik, die jede Hürde der bisweilen tückisch angelegten Transkriptionen locker nimmt.“ […] „So werden auch Liszts Funérailles aus den Harmonies poétiques et religieuses (1853) zu einem visionären Ereignis, bekommt Rachmaninows berühmtes Klavier-Prélude cis-Moll ungeahnte Größe und apokalyptische Wucht.“

Kritisch von Loreto Aramendis Doppel-CD von „The Sydney Organ Journal“

The Sydney Organ Journal give an excellent review of Loreto Aramendi doble CD

The Sydney Organ Journal give an excellent review of Loreto Aramendi double CD

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.
