Corrette Organ Concerto CD launch

A new Compact Disc of the complete organ concertos by
Michel Corrette recorded will be launched during a
concert at St Aloysius College, Milsons Point on
Friday 8 September, 6.30 pm. This recording features
Pastor de Lasala playing the College's fine Létourneau
organ and accompanied by alumni - past and present -
of the College. The organ concertos, edited and
published by Pastor de Lasala, celebrate the 250th
anniversary of their original publication. This
recording of the concertos is unique in that the works
are presented for the first
time partly as solo works and partly with instrumental
accompaniment.

Another unique feature of this CD is the world
première recording of excerpts from Corrette's 3rd
organ book, also of 1756. Also that evening will be
the first Australian performance of Louis Vierne's
little known Cantique à St Louis de Gonzague sung by
members of the St Aloysius College Senior School
Choir.

Proceeds of the sale of the CD will go towards the Dr
Anthony Wallington Memorial Scholarship.

Venue:

St Aloysius College Chapel
47 Upper Pitt St
Milsons Point.

Tickets will be available at the door on the night.
