At its official opening in October 2003, Walt Disney Concert Hall (a generous gift from the widow of Walt Disney) was hailed as an acoustical triumph. A year later the organ was inaugurated, built by Manuel Rosales. With its curved wooden pipes shooting out like an explosion of Roman candle fireworks the instrument is a masterpiece of design and its stunning musical possibilities made it one of the most remarkable organs in the world. • The program played by Jean-Baptiste Robin is perfectly suited to the huge potential of the instrument: the selection of musical fairy tales (Ravel, Massenet, Debussy, Duruflé, Tchaikovsky, Chopin and Robin) brings out a myriad of colours, timbres and sonorities of a truly symphonic scope. • French organist Jean-Baptiste Robin is one of the foremost organists of today. His recordings on Brilliant Classics include works by Alain and a recording of the American Symphonic Organ built by E.M. Skinner in the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal.
