About the album

The World Premier recording of two of Naji Hakim’s latest works entitled Sakskøbing Præludier and Glenalmond Suite are performed by the composer himself in this fantastic collection of organ works.

Hakim arranged this programme to articulate the timbres of the new 26 stop organ at Glenalmond College, including works by Grigny, Boëllmann and Franck as well as opening with Te Deum, one of the most famous pieces by Jean Langlais.

"I chose the repertoire for the opening recital of the Glenalmond College instrument having in mind the stylistic flexibility and great elegance of Harrison & Harrison organs. As 2007 was the centenary year of my master and friend Jean Langlais, I decided to open the programme with one of his most famous pieces - Te Deum - on the Tutti of the organ, followed by works of Grigny, Boëllmann and Franck, articulating the programme to put in relief the colours of the instrument, such as mutations, flutes, voix céleste, foundations and reeds. The Sakskøbing Præludier, based on Danish hymns, are the prolongation of my credo, and, along with the Glenalmond Suite, are recorded here for the very first time." - Naji Hakim, 2008
Een fantastisch openingsrecital voor het orgel van Glenalmond College
Deze fantastische collectie orgelwerken bevat onder andere de wereldpremières van twee werken van Naji Hakim getiteld Sakskøbing Præludier en Glenalmond Suite, uitgevoerd door de componist zelf.

Hakim schreef over het programma: “Ik koos het repertoire voor het openingsrecital van het instrument van Glenalmond College met de stilistische flexibiliteit en grote sierlijkheid van orgels van Harrison & Harrison in gedachten. Omdat 2007 het honderdste geboortejaar van meester en vriend Jean Langlais was, koos ik ervoor om het programma te openen met een van zijn beroemdste werken – Te Deum – op het Tutti van het orgel, gevolgd door werken van Grigny, Boëllmann en Franck, die de contrasterende kleuren van de instrument benadrukken, zoals mixturen, fluiten, voix céleste en tongpijpen. De Sakskøbing Præludier, gebaseerd op Deense hymnen, zijn de verlenging van mijn credo, en worden, net als de Glenalmond Suite, hier voor het eerst opgenomen.”
