Description:

Metal Angel by Gunnar & Johan Hedin Idenstam, released 4 September 2020. This version of Metal Angel comes as a 1xCD. - AT THE ORGAN OF MONACO CATHEDRAL

Metal Angel is a collection of eighteen pieces and a Symphonic Sonata for organ by Gunnar Idenstam, born in Swedish Lappland in 1961; this album presents fifteen of these pieces in a series of three suites. Written between 2013 and 2019, they exploit the full range of the modern symphonic organ to give musical expression to the idea of angels in a Gothic fantasy world. Idenstam's distinctive musical language blends the physical energy of symphonic rock and metal and the modal cast of Scandinavian folk-music with an approach to the organ in the French cathedral tradition of such composers as Dupré, Vierne and Widor. This recording presents some of the most fiercely exciting organ music of recent years, in high-voltage performances by the composer himself.

Gunnar Idenstam plays on the organ of Monaco Cathedral. Recorded on 4?7 February 2020 in the Cathédrale de Notre-Dame-Immaculée, Monaco. Recording equipment: Neumann and DPA microphones: 1 bass mic Neumann in the pedal section, 2 Neumann just in front of the Swell section, 2 Neumann on the Positive organ, 2 Neumann for close-up of the Chamade trumpets. ?
