Felix Hell - Organ Sensation (2005) [Hi-Res]

“…It is extremely difficult t make a good recording of an organ …If you would like to hear just what CAN be done with the most modern recording techniques, I would suggest that you invest in this CD…This recording gets it ALL right” –Douglas A. Campbell, PIPEORG

“Felix Hell is a real phenomenon, a young man who’s been packing ’em in at organ recitals for years, although at the time this recording was made in June of 2002, he wasn’t old enough to vote …Most impressive are the two Liszt works. Hell makes the most of the power and color of the lage Shoenstein instrument, but is also fully attuned to all the contrapuntal and architectural complexities of the pieces…The organ sound is rich and dense, maintaining its focus when loud, and the recorded perspective is ideal – close enough for detail and timbral nuance but not so close that the organ doesn’t have room to breathe. Low bass is almost scary. If you have a subwoofer in a small-to-medium sized room, prepare to have your eardrums pressurized” –Andrew Quint, THE ABSOLUTE SOUND

“The newest CD from Felix Hell is a sonic blockbuster that may become a contender for status as one of the best organ recordings ever… For those who have been reading about Felix nut have not heard him in concert, especially on a large instrument, THIS is the CD to purchase… Turn down the lights, crank up the volume and revel in it!“ –Rich Blacklock, PIPORG-L
