If you could read my mind

Description

Cameron Carpenter inaugurates here the instrument of his dreams: an organ that follows him on tour and that he had custom-built, in collaboration with the American pioneers of the electronic organ Marshall and Ogletree. Like the instrumentalist, this instrument represents an unprecedented upheaval in the world of the organ! The traditional pipes have given way to the digitization of sounds from instruments around the world, allowing Carpenter's art to open up and discover even more enchanting sound universes. Determined to shake up classical norms, the eccentric and bold virtuoso has recorded a carefully chosen program from the classical and popular repertoire that he performs with the talent, brilliance, and flair that characterize him. Original program, which makes a wide leap between Bach or Marcel Dupré, from Gershwin to Scriabin, and which showcases the exceptional eclecticism of this unique virtuoso today. Recording program:
