So unbelievably cool to be able to hear a student of Franck play his works. What a time to be alive.

What a joy to find this incredibly rare recording here! I believe it was never officially released, as the sound quality was so poor. But Charles Lever's amazing digital transfer is little short of a miracle. Musically speaking, I think this is the finest of all Tournemire's recordings. So expressive, totally authentic, and the precision of the staccato, the sforzandi, and the little swirls of semiquavers in the central section are absolutely electrifying. And the Voix Celeste such a lovely touch at the end!
