Zuzana Ferjenčíková plays an excerpt of Jean Guillou's "Säya ou l'Oiseau bleu" at the organ of the cathedral of Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille at Lille (France). This particular organ was built in 1966 by Danion-Gonzalez for the Studio 104 at the Maison de la Radio in Paris (IV/101), renovated in 1989 by Bernard Dargassies and translocated to the cathedral of Lille in 2008 by the german organbuilder Klais.
This is a sneak preview of our upcoming double SACD album "Jean Guillou - complete organ works Vol.2" with Zuzana Ferjenčíková. The album will contain two SACDs, one recorded at Lille, the other one on the Detlef Kleuker organ (1981) at Notre-Dame-du-Chant-d'Oiseau in Brussels (Belgium).
Stay tuned!

Exciting news! At the beginning of July, we were able to make further recordings with Zuzana Ferjenčíková, this time on the Danion-Gonzales organ of the Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille Cathedral in Lille (France). These recordings will be released by AE**US in late fall, together with recordings made in August 2024 at the Church of Notre-Dame-du-Chant-d'Oiseau (Brussels), as Vol. 2 of the complete recording of organ works by Jean Guillou. The first recording of Guillou's cycle “Macbeth” is also included!
The instrument in Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille Cathedral was built in 1966 by Danion-Gonzalez for Studio 104 in the Maison de la Radio in Paris (IV/101), overhauled in 1989 by Bernard Dargassies, and finally installed in Lille Cathedral in 2008 by Klais (under the artistic supervision of Jean Guillou) after Grenzing provided a new organ for the Paris radio hall. This is the first recording of the instrument in the context of a studio production.
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the two titular organists of the cathedral, Ghislain Leroy and Denis Comtet, for their warm welcome and their fantastic support during our recordings!
Here are a few photographic impressions! A short video clip will follow...

Stéphane Mottoul plays an excerpt of Richard Wagner's Prelude to "Meistersinger" (arr. by Edwin H. Lemare) on the famous organ of the Hofkirche St.Leodegar at Lucerne - a short video from our upcoming album!

26/06/2025

In early May, AE**US recording producer Christoph Martin Frommen had the privilege and pleasure of producing a new double album with Stéphane Mottoul, featuring the famous 5 manual organ of the Hofkirche St.Leodegard at Lucerne (Switzerland) where Stéphane is titular organist since October of 2021. The organ's facade houses the largest open 32' metal pipe of Europe! It's Stéphanes second appearance on AE**US: in 2016 he recorded the complete organ works of Maurice Duruflé on the Thomas Organ at Diekirch (LUX). For this new double album he has chosen major organ works of Franz Liszt and transcriptions of famous works of Richard Wagner.
The recording was, of course, produced in 5.1 multichannel surround sound and is scheduled for release on Super Audio CD in the fall! Stay tuned on https://www.aeolus-music.com !

We are delighted to announce another exciting new release today! Karol Mossakowski, titular organist of the Aristide Cavaillé-Coll organ at Saint-Sulpice in Paris since 2023, has chosen AE**US to record his first album on this world-famous instrument, something we are very grateful for! Details of the program will follow.
We would like to share a few photos from the production, which took place after Easter this year.
The new album (Super Audio CD with stereo and multichannel surround sound) will be available in mid-October. Stay tuned... https://www.aeolus-music.com

Zuzana Ferjenčíková plays Liszt at the Seifert organ of Ratingen St.Peter & Paul - a short video from our recording last week!

15/06/2025

Last week, AE**US had the privilege and pleasure of producing a new album with Zuzana Ferjenčíková, featuring her own organ transcriptions of works by Ludwig van Beethoven (Piano Sonata Op.13), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Adagio in B minor, KV 540), Robert Schumann (excerpts from Kinderszenen, Op. 15) and Franz Liszt (Second Legend of St. Francis and “Tristis est anima mea” from the oratorio “Christus”).
We had the incredible luxury of using the amazingly versatile Romanus Seifert organ (1953) at St. Peter & Paul in Ratingen, Germany. Under the direction of titular organist Ansgar Wallenhorst, this instrument has been continuously expanded over the past 20 years to include many exciting features (including an auxiliary section behind the high altar), which Zuzana Ferjenčíková knows how to use to great effect! The recording was, of course, produced in 5.1 multichannel surround sound and is scheduled for release on Super Audio CD in the fall!
Here are a few photographic impressions from Ratingen.

We received a remarkably high number of feedbacks from customers who purchased our album ‘Chaconne 1927’ regarding the exceptional sound of our recording. This is indeed remarkable and probably due to the particular microphones I used for the stereo version: the Telefunken (Neumann) KM 253 tube microphones with aluminium diaphragms!
