HAKIM Bach'orama, Jonquilles, Mit seinem Geist, Theotokos, Salve Regina, Gershwinesca

Naji Hakim returns to disc on Signum with a new disc of his own unique compositions for solo organ, performed on the magnificent Stahlhuth-Jann Organ of St Martin's Church, Dudelange, Grand Duché du Luxembourg.

Continuing Signum's series with the eminent composer and organist, this is our third release of Hakim performing his own works on great organs of the world; the first from the Harrison & Harrison organ of Glenalmond College, UK (SIGCD130) and the second from the van den Heuvel Organ of the Danish Radio, Denmark (SIGCD222):

" ...the most immediately striking thing about this disc - apart from the excellence of the recording quality - is the brilliance and virtuosity of the performances . I regard this as an important recording and I recommend it unreservedly." International Record Review (SIGCD222)

"Hakim's spiritual exuberance is expressed in harmonically ear-tickling music which sings and dances, accelerating, in his inimitably breathless toccatas, to the insane-sounding speeds of whirling dervishes." Choir and Organ Magazine (SIGCD222)
