Sonate à Deux. Gaston Litaize

Sonate à Deux, pour orgue à 4 mains. Gaston Litaize (1909-1991). "This work, a massive three-movement meditation on the Easter sequence Victimae paschali laudes, was commissioned by the Chenaults and here is performed in Monaco by Vernet and Meckler. Of course, I couldn’t resist a mental comparison to the Tournemire improvisation on this sequence; contrasted with the present work, it feels like a sonatina. Abundant restless energy and a seemingly unquenchable thirst for sheer sound drive this huge piece forward. The only word for the work is Brobdingnagian. After a willfully whimsical slow movement—strings supporting quirky filigrees, finished by what is mostly a dominant-seventh chord—we are back to the high energy of the first movement. This finale brings not only the Sonate but the disc to a thunderous close. Decidedly recommended." JONATHAN B. HALL, FAGO, ChM. The American Organist
