Just ordered the CD - your fault Cesar!  ;D

Did you enjoy your Leifs, Jeffrey?  ;)  :P
The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied.

Still haven't properly played it Cesar. Thanks for reminding me!

I love Kjell Mørk Karlsen Symphony No. 2 for choir, organ, and orchestra (1985).  Also, Kalevi Aho's Symphony No. 8 for Organ and Orchestra and Halvor Haug's Symphony No. 2 with organ.  The Haug doesn't feature the organ that prominently, but it barks out a few moments - it is more like how Richard Strauss would use the organ in his symphonic poems.  Christopher Rouse's Organ Concerto is excellent too.  I'm a big lover in the organ being very selectively used - like how Mahler and Rachmaninoff barely use it in Symphony No. 2 and The Bells, but it is so satisfying when it comes in.

Thank you. I need to investigate some of those.
