Yon: Complete Organ Mu... - Tommaso Mazzoletti - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Pietro Alessandro Yon (1886-1943) was born at the foot of the Alps in Italy. His musical talent was soon discovered and he went to study in Turin and later in Rome with Sgambati (piano) and Renzi (organ). His fame as a brilliant organist soon spread internationally and he was offered a post as organist in Manhattan, New York, where he settled for life in 1907. Pietro met with enormous success as a concert performer, holding his first concert at the Aeolian Hall in New York in 1914. During the course of almost thirty years of feverish activity, he gave around 1500 performances, 23 of them in the famous Carnegie Hall.

Played on the magnificent Brondino Vegezzi-Bossi organ at St. Paul protestant church in Gland, Switzerland. Tommaso Mazzoletti again delivers outstanding and brilliant performances of these fascinating organ works by Pietro Yon. The first volume of his organ works received some excellent reviews in the international press: “Mazzoletti is a master of registration and owns a wonderful feeling for tempo and color” (Burkhard Schäfer in “Organ”).
