Great fiery performance! Another new composer to me. Well done!
Thanks, Marek! Benaut didn't write the most complicated music, but it certainly generates great effect!
You never disappoint with these "not so known" pieces. Benaut was trully a great composer as I can hear!
Oh this was fun indeed! A few organs would be great for this kind of a registration. This Metzler was quite impressive!
Thanks Ralph.

I was particularly pleased to hear this, having played his Organ Mass three or four times in recitals. [At the time I was unable to purchase his C major mass which I had heard on an old recording.] The composer had an industrious but sad life, as did his brilliant orphaned daughter who died of typhoid when only 17 years old, having hidden in Paris as a laundress.
You are probably one of the few organists who know and play Benaut. Very interesting music.
In these great acoustics, it really is a fantastic listening experience.
Beautiful dramatic music and a dramatic life story. Great playing Ralph!
A beautiful celebration of the forgotten composer whose life was ended too soon!❤
This radiant full work is absolutely majestic and powerful. Fantastic music dear Ralph!
Very good : let us hear this somewhat forgotten music from this composer with a so sad fate!
Thanks! He certainly needs more attention
