Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of Baroque organ music with Louis-Claude Daquin's "Complete Livre de Noëls." This exquisite collection, recorded in July 2017, features the masterful playing of Adriano Falcioni on the historic Jean-Pierre Cavaillé organ at the Abbey of Saint Guilhem le Désert in France. Daquin, a contemporary of Johann Sebastian Bach and renowned as one of the finest organists of his time, presents a series of Noël compositions that are both technically impressive and deeply evocative. Born into a family of Italian origins, Daquin's musical journey took him from the courts of Louis XIV to prestigious positions at St Paul-St Louis du Marais and Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. This album, released by Brilliant Classics, offers a comprehensive exploration of Daquin's "Livre de Noëls, Op. 2," a set of twelve Noël pieces that showcase his virtuosity and compositional genius. Each track, from the delicate "Noël, sur les jeux d'anches sans tremblant" to the grand "Noël «Suisse», grand jeu et duo," is a testament to Daquin's enduring legacy in the world of Baroque music. With a total duration of 70 minutes, this album is a treasure trove for enthusiasts of classical organ music, providing a rich and immersive listening experience.
