The couplings raise the interest level considerably. The opening of Langlais' Organ Concerto No. 3 "Reaction", with its huge timpani rolls and imposing organ chords, obviously benefits from the immensely long reverberation time of the Liebfrauenmünster Ingolstadt, just as the piece's marvelous central fugue enjoys the same clarity of texture that proves so effective in the Poulenc. Robert Maximilian Helmschrott's (b. 1938) Concerto "Lamento" for Organ, String Orchestra, and Percussion lives up to its title. A tense, brooding sort of piece, it's extremely well written for the assembled forces and sports an especially atmospheric and imposing lengthy first movement. Both this work and the Langlais make rewarding discoveries and, along with the Poulenc, enjoy absolutely first rate interpretations from organist Franz Hauk and conductor Markus Poschner. Great sound, great playing--a great disc..
