(Subtitled "A Theatre Piece for Singers, Players & Dancers". Egomaniacal kitsch? Innovative spiritual statement? The theatricality may not be that far removed from the pre-Reformation mass celebrated in the cathedrals of Europe.)

(Yes, the whole CD! Played on a historic 1787 organ in the church of St. Leonard in Treviso, Italy. A collection of keyboard pieces composed in the late 18th-early 19th century, orchestrated on pipe organ. The avant-garde of its time, distancing itself from the excesses of the Baroque.)
