Frederick Hohman is showcased along with the organ of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City in a new CD release, Frederick Hohman’s Great Organ Gala! (Pro Organo CD 7272). This is the first new CD release from Hohman since Soar Above in 2011.
Great Organ Gala was recorded on October 27, 2015, the day before Hohman’s concert appearance at the Cathedral. The program includes some traditional organ repertoire by Bach and Vierne, but centers on symphonic organ transcriptions by Edwin Lemare (1865–1934) and Hohman (b. 1955).
There is a bonus track made available as a free MP3 download only of Hohman’s transcription of Vocalise, op. 34, no. 14, by Rachmaninoff. The track is found on the album page at www.ProOrgano.com. To find this album quickly, search the keywords “Great Gala.”
