MONUMENTAL AND COLOURFUL

The monumental and colourful sounds of the organ and symphony orchestra blend together perfectly on this splendid recording of Saint-Saëns’s “Organ” Symphony, Poulenc’s Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani and the Toccata from Charles-Marie Widor’s Organ Symphony No. 5. The majestic organ chords at the start of the final movement of Saint-Saëns’s symphony equal the sublime effect of Beethoven’s choral conclusion of his Ninth, and have made it an audience’s favourite straight from the moment of its 1886 premiere. Poulenc’s organ concerto shows the composer’s retrospective side, while simultaneously offering flashes of his stylistic playfulness. After Poulenc’s serene concerto, Widor’s Toccata offers a vibrant conclusion to this programme.

The Geneva Victoria Hall organ is played by Christopher Jacobson, who has already released a solo album with performances on the Aeolian Organ at Duke University Chapel, as well as a recording of Tyberg Masses with the South Dakota Chorale on PENTATONE. On this album, he works with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and conductor Kazuki Yamada, who have a vast PENTATONE discography.

Yamada appears regularly with such orchestras as Orchestre de Paris, Philharmonia Orchestra, Dresden Philharmonic, Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Berlin, St Petersburg Philharmonic, Czech Philharmonic, City of Birmingham Symphony, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Gothenburg Symphony, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Orquesta Sinfonica y Coro de RTVE and Tonkünstler-Orchester at the Vienna Musikverein.

He is Principal Guest Conductor of Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and also holds the same title with Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte Carlo, starting in the 2014/2015 season. In Japan, he holds further titles of Principal Conductor of Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, Music Partner with Sendai Philharmonic and Ensemble Orchestral Kanzawa and Music Director of Yokohama Sinfonietta, an ensemble he founded whilst still a student. Passionate about choral repertoire, he is Tokyo Philharmonic Chorus’s Residential Conductor. The chorus have released four CDs with Yamada.

Forthcoming debut appearances include Helsinki Philharmonic, SWR Stuttgart, Orchestre National de Lyon and his USA debut with Utah Symphony Orchestra. He also undertakes a large-scale project to conduct Honegger’s ‘Jeanne d’Arc’ with three orchestras: Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte Carlo, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse and Orchestre de Paris at the new Philharmonie hall in Paris. The character of Joan of Arc will be performed by the French actress Marion Cotillard.

Yamada was the winner of the 51st Besancon International Competition for young conductors. Born in Kanagawa, Japan, in 1979, he is now resident in Berlin. In 2011 he received the Idemitsu Music Prize for young artists in Japan.
