César FRANCK Choral No.1 in E Major - Paul Jacobs, organ

Grammy Award-winning organist Paul Jacobs plays César Franck's Choral No.1 in E Major. This heroic masterpiece, the first in a set of three, was composed in 1890 during the last months of the composer's life. Performed on the Aeolian-Skinner organ at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin in New York City, Mr. Jacobs exploits the distinct tonal palette of the American instrument to summon the ecstasy and splendor of Franck's final musical testament.
