Transcriptions. Loreto Aramendi plays Camille Saint-Saëns, Sergei Rachmaninov, F. Liszt, J.S. Bach, Richard Wagner and Gabriel Fauré at the Aristide Cavaillé-Coll (1890) pipe organ of the Saint Ouen Abbaye of Rouen (France).

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 Frédéric Muñoz in ResMusica – October 2017.
“Loreto Aramendi delivers a true masterpiece” [..] “Thanks to Aramendi’s fabulous and clearly pianistic trained playing technique, which takes every hurdle of the sometimes treacherously arranged transcriptions loose. On the other hand, in view of their finely applied agogics, which misses not the slightest dramaturgical detail.Thus, Liszt’s funérailles from the Harmonies poétiques et religieuses (1853) become a visionary event, Rachmaninoff’s famous piano prelude in c sharp minor receives unimaginable greatness and apocalyptic power.
