American Impressionist contains American organ music, rarely heard these days, that is evocative of a time when composers were unafraid to be programmatic.The highlight of this CD is, of course, Alexander Russell's St. Lawrence Sketches, of which this is the first recording on CD and only the second recording of the piece (after Richard Ellsasser's LP record from the 1950s). Dreams was made famous by Virgil Fox in concerts and on record. The Andante Serioso, dedicated to Vierne, is heard here in the only recording still available. And, the Bishop's Promenade is always a crowd pleaser! MP3 Album Download, $6.00, Selections $0.99.

James Flood made this recording in 1995 in the First Baptist Church of Niagara Falls, New York, on the historic III/42 Hall organ (1939), which he rebuilt and enlarged from 1988 to 1996. The music is all-American!
