This organ is the very antithesis of tracker-action purism, and so Edwin Lemare's 'Carmen Fantasia' seems just the right things to do. Dvorak's 'Humoresque' shines under these conditions. Lemare's version of Saint-Saens' 'Danse Macabre' will raise the hairs on the back of your neck. But the real surprise is the arrangement of the Andante of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, in Smyth's own transcription. Beethoven would have approved. Smyth's playing carries a real sense of enviable breadth with these works, and there is joy, too.

Southwestern Ontario organist Marty Smyth has a ball transcribing orchestral faves for his own instrument. Recorded at the versatile instrument at Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Chatham, this is a fine romp of music that is hard to catch in live performance.
