 Scott Hanoian is a brilliant rising star in the organ world. Formerly he was the Assistant Organist and Assistant Director of Music at Washington National Cathedral. He has recently been appointed to the position of Director of Music and Organist at Christ Episcopal Church in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. While at Washington National Cathedral he recorded the complete organ works of the, Romanticist-Classicist composer, Johannes Brahms on the Cathedral’s instrument. This music is intelligently played by Mr. Hanoian in a symphonic manner, using all of the color possibilities the instrument has to offer. The booklet comes with excellent music notes, a full stop list and an interview with Scott about his career as a professional musician. This disc is highly recommended.
