Ken Cowan performs an exciting program of Liszt's most beloved organ works and transcriptions. From the sublime beauty of the two Consolations in D-flat and Liebestraume No. 3, to the breadth and power of the epic Fantasia on "Ad nos, ad salutarum undam", all elements of this monumental Quimby pipe organ are explored. Jean Guillou's arrangement of Prometheus, a tone poem for full orchestra, is a scintillating tour de force for the instrument and performer alike. Additionally included is Mr. Cowan's own arrangement of Liszt's Prelude and Fugue on B-A-C-H, which synthesizes material from the composer's 1870 organ version as well as Liszt's brilliant 1871 arrangement for piano.
