Zuzana Ferjenčíková starts her complete recording of Jean Guillou's organ works on the AEOLUS label with this recording of symphonic poems at the monumental organ of Saint-Eustache in Paris.
The Slovakian concert organist studied for many years with Jean Guillou (1930 - 2019) and performed his complete organ works in several concerts at the Saint-Eustache church in Paris a few years ago. This 5-manual instrument was conceived by Jean Guillou in the late 1980s and built by the firm Van den Heuvel (NL) in 1989. Fortunately, we have succeeded in making the recordings for this double SACD (stereo and 5.1 surround) on precisely this spectacular instrument.
In addition to Jean Guillou's own symphonic poems, Zuzana Ferjenčíková has also recorded here all the transcriptions of works by Franz Liszt that Guillou completed. His arrangement of Liszt's "Tasso" is presented here as a world premiere recording.
