Organist Isabelle Demers performs Étude héroïque, by Rachel Laurin, on the Acis Productions label.

In advance of the forthcoming release of organ works of Rachel Laurin, this video from the recording sessions gives a glimpse of the glorious Casavant Opus 869 (1921); renovated in 2001-6, and captured clearly in the generous acoustic of the Church of Saint Anges, Lachine, Montreal. Ms. Demers performs from memory, including registration changes.

Acis Productions acknowledges the generous cooperation of Ms. Laurin's music publisher, Éditions Lucarel in the making of this recording, particularly Gilles Leclerc and Gaston Arel.

  • Saw Rachel Laurin perform her Toccata from her 1st symphony live yesterday. She writes some intensely complicated, yet amazing-sounding stuff.

  • Shes's a very talented lady ! Had the pleasure of meeting her today in the United Kingdom where she played a lunch time concert at the Birmingham Town Hall Organ which ended with this piece. She palyed the entire concert programme from memory how's that for musicianship ! I was amazed at her organ playing she makes any work seem effortless . Her sheer consumate skill and contol of handling  cadenzas awkward passages glissando on the pedal two and three part

    pedalling at times.

  • Casavant Rules!!!!!! Bravo Isabelle Demers!

  • Marvelously performed! A brilliant piece with a brilliant organist at the most charming Casavant of Montréal. Congratulations!

  • Beautiful organ !
