The first CD in this series (PRCD 872) from St.Ouen in Rouen was greeted with great acclaim. Gerard Brooks follows this with another fascinating release featuring the two sets of Preludes and Fugues, Seven Improvisations and Three Rhapsodies in this well filled two CD set. We have recorded this CD on the little heard Cavaille-Coll organ of St.Antoine in Paris.

"The playing is delightful in its open sincerity and clear affesction for the music, and the recording absolutely honest, even down to the obtrusive action clatter...Delightful music, delightfully played and making a delightful sound, this is a very special addition to the Saint-Saens discography." (Gramophone)
