Tjeerd Van Der Ploeg - Tournemire: Complete Organ Music, Oeuvres d'Orgue (4 CD)

Productinformatie

Van der Ploeg’s achievement is widely recognised by his fellow organists. Among the most celebrated of them was his fellow Dutchman Albert de Klerk, who wrote: ‘These are sounds for meditation and prayer. You will be gripped by this and will not let go. I have nothing but praise for Tjeerd van der Ploeg’s playing. This man understands Tournemire. His playing is flexible, the articulation is just right. His registrations are usually excellent. [...] The instrument has been chosen correctly, a great wealth of fundamental voices, reeds and silent solo registers. The present set reissues recordings made around the turn of the millennium on superb French instruments in Douai Abbey, Cambrai Cathedral and the church of Notre Dame d’Auteuil in Paris, with full specifications for each one listed in the booklet, which also prints contextual notes for each piece. On their original release, these recordings attracted fulsome praise in the Dutch press: ‘Van der Ploeg plays with great imagination and accuracy.’ (Trouw). ‘Tjeerd van der Ploeg plays the Mutin organ in the Saint-Pierre in Douai in an extremely imaginative manner and although he does not originate from the 'Roman' tradition, he knows how to evoke the mystique of incense and pointed arches’ (Luister). ‘An excellent interpretation of Tournemire’s subtle Impressionism, thanks to the clear recording and the tone-colours: enthusiastically recommended’ (Nederlands Dagblad).
