I am writing this from the snowy upstate New York, where I am on a rare
non-musical ski vacation. This summer, I spent a month in Montreal and found a
beautiful Casavant/Guilbalt Therien organ to practice on. Below are two
recordings I made there:
"Sunrise in Montreal", an improvisation

Louis Couperin, "La Pastourelle" from Suite in D minor

Hope you enjoy these small recordings from the Church of St Marc, in Rosemont.
