Cameron Carpenter – Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini & Poulenc: Organ Concerto (2019) [Official Digital Download 24bit/44,1kHz]

The smasher of cultural and classical music taboos (LA Times) is releasing here his first recording with orchestra. Rachmaninoffs famous Paganini variations arranged for organ and orchestra by Cameron Carpenter himself. The album was recorded on the International Touring Organ, together with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin and Christoph Eschenbach A virtuoso composer-performer unique among keyboardists, Camerons approach to the organ is smashing the stereotypes of organists and organ music while generating a level of acclaim, exposure, and controversy unprecedented for an organist. His repertoire from the complete works of J. S. Bach and Cesar Franck, to his hundreds of transcriptions of non-organ works, his original compositions, and his collaborations with jazz and pop artists is perhaps the largest and most diverse of any organist. He is the first organist ever nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for a solo album.
