The first of two programme this year in which the entire
“24 Pieces en Style Libre” by Louis Vierne will be presented.
This broadcast will feature the whole of Volume 1, and later
this year we will hear Volume 2.

These wonderful miniatures are written on two staves and
intended for either organ or harmonium. Despite their brevity
they still give a powerful glimpse into Vierne’s world of astringent
chromaticism.

These performances are all on a large (un-named) organ, and
the player is Gunther Kaunziner.

After more than 40 years in storage, the legendary Christie
organ (4 manuals, 36 ranks) from the Regal Cinema, Marble Arch,
London now has new owners. The organ has been brought out of
storage and the massive task of restoring it is in hand.

Tonight we will hear the sounds of this organ, some dating from
when it was virtually new, and others from the last commercial
recording made before its removal from the theatre in 1964.
