A prism captures light and reveals
all its hidden rainbow colours...

 

Recorded on the wonderful Casavant-Frères organ in Trinity-St. Stephen's United Church in Amherst, Nova Scotia, this debut CD highlights the prismatic -- and virtuoso -- qualities of Gayle h. Martin's playing. She presents a kaleidoscopic array of twentieth-century music, whose French, Czech and Canadian composers weave through these diverse works a common thread of vibrant dramatic intensity.
