Review by Behsaa group

Album Review: Organ Music The Organ Of Bath Abbey by César Franck & Graham Steed Let’s cut to the chase—this album is a treasure for anyone who digs classical music with a touch of grandeur. Released back in 1978 in the UK under Decca, it’s got that rich, soul-stirring vibe you’d expect from organ-heavy pieces. And when you throw in the genius of César Franck and the masterful hands of Graham Steed on the organ at Bath Abbey? Well, buckle up, because it’s a ride. The album dives into some serious Romantic-era vibes, blending choral influences with big, bold organ compositions. Tracks like Trois Chorals 1-2 and Six Pieces Pour Grand Orgue 5-6 really stand out. Honestly, I couldn’t stop humming bits of Trois Chorals 3 after hearing it—it’s got this haunting yet uplifting melody that sticks to your brain like glue. You know those moments where the music feels so alive, it’s almost like the organ’s breathing? That’s what happens here. It’s not just notes; it’s an experience. And then there’s Six Pieces Pour Grand Orgue 2-4. This one hit me differently. It starts off all calm and reflective but builds up into this thunderous crescendo that makes you feel like you’re standing right in the middle of Bath Abbey itself. The acoustics must’ve been insane during recording! There were times I had to pause and just sit with the sound lingering in my ears. Feels kinda spiritual, if you ask me. What I love about this record is how unapologetically dramatic it is. No bells and whistles (well, except maybe the ones coming outta the organ pipes), just pure, raw musical storytelling. It’s easy to see why people still talk about Franck’s work even decades later—he knew how to write stuff that resonates across time. Now, here’s the kicker: as much as I adore this album, listening to it felt like being invited to a fancy dinner wearing flip-flops. Like, yeah, it’s beautiful, but part of me wondered if I was “smart” enough to fully get it. Maybe that’s the magic of classical music though—it meets you where you are, even if you don’t quite understand everything it’s saying. So go ahead, give Organ Music The Organ Of Bath Abbey a spin. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself daydreaming about ancient cathedrals and wondering what life was like before Spotify playlists existed.
