Albinoni - Adagio
Xaver Varnus - Pipe Organ
The Inaugural Organ Recital of the Palace of Arts of Budapest
Born in Budapest, his first piano teacher was Emma Németh, one of the last pupils of
Claude Debussy. Xaver Varnus has played virtually every important organ in the world,
including those in Bach's Thomaskirche in Leipzig (2014), Berliner Dom (2013), Notre-Dame
(1981), Saint-Sulpice (2006) and Saint-Eustache (1996) in Paris, National Shrine in
Washington, D.C. (1985), and Canterbury Cathedral (2004), as well as the largest
existing instrument in the world, the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia (1985).
His Quadruple Platinum Disc winning album From Ravel to Vangelis, released by
Sony BMG in 2007, is the best-selling collection of organ recordings ever. "Put simply,
Varnus is a monster talent, every bit as stimulating and individual as the late Glenn
Gould". (The Globe & Mail, Canada's National Newspaper, 1985).
