Description

Within the hallowed expanse of Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, the organ resonates through centuries of devotion and artistry. Heard in this recording, the profound sonic environment of the historic basilica emerges as each note played on the grand organ seems to breathe life into the walls, carrying the weight of countless pilgrimages and prayers. As the music unfolds, it fills the space with transcendent quality, blending seamlessly with the ambient acoustics of the Romanesque architecture and Baroque embellishments. The rich tones of the organ evoke a sense of awe, paying homage to the cathedral's role as a sacred endpoint for the Way of St. James - a journey steeped in history and spirituality. This sound setting not only preserves the majestic beauty of the organ but also invites the listener to reflect on the timeless significance of this revered place. It is a sonic offering that mirrors the cathedral’s enduring legacy as both a spiritual sanctuary and a monument to human devotion. Recorded by Serge Bulat.
