Gunnar Idenstam - Debussy/ Ravel: Idenstam

Idenstam is firmly grounded in the virtuosic French organ tradition which he studied in France, with the legendary Marie-Claire Alain. It was during his time in Paris that Idenstam first started dreaming of transferring Debussy's La Mer to his own instrument - to perform this impressionistic orchestral seascape on the organ. As Idenstam now releases a recording of his arrangement, it appears in the company of key orchestral works by Maurice Ravel, another composer who never wrote anything for the organ.
