Alcée Chriss III’s debut album comprises works by Bach, Whitlock, and Rachmaninoff, as well as a number of distinctive selections including an arrangement of Wagner’s The Flight of the Valkyries, and works by French composers Jean Guillou and Jeanne Demessieux. Chriss also performs his own arrangements for organ of jazz standards such as Tea for Two and Rhapsody after Art by the legendary Art Tatum.
First prize winner of the CIOC (Canadian International Organ Competition 2021), Aaron Tan is the only person who, in addition to having won the CIOC in 2021, was among the winners of two other major organ competitions in North America: the CRCO National Organ Competition and the AGO National Competition for Young Artists (NYACOP). For his debut album, the CIOC First Prize winner chose works by Fernando Germani, Percy Whitlock, Sigfrid Karg-Elert, Jeanne Demessieux, Rachel Laurin, Henri Duparc (in a transcription by Aaron Tan) and Louis Vierne, performed on the Casavant Opus 796 organ at Our Lady Immaculate Basilica in Guelph, Ontario.
