For the first volume the choice was the huge Jaquot organ of Catania Cathedral, a massive instrument built in 1877 and restored in 2014. Diego Cannizzaro, organ player who performed Office Divin by Filippo Capocci and two volumes of the complete collection about Pietro Alessandro Yon, selected a fascinating anthology of French and Italian authors, combining Sonata op.56 n.3 by Alexandre Guilmant and two suites of the unknown Nicolas Couturier to a series of pages by Marco Enrico Bossi, king of the Italian organ between the end of the XIX and the beginning of the XX century, Capocci and Pietro Branchina, making homage to Vincenzo Bellini, immortal glory of Catania. A CD that will conquer both the passionate and the connoisseurs.
