• 10:00 AM. Saint Paul Sunday

  Twenty-six programmes in which Bill McGlaughlin talks with chamber musicians in the studio

  (14) Paul Jacobs (org), with music for Easter day

  This Easter day, Saint Paul Sunday ventures to a noted sacred landmark in New York City, Park Avenue's resplendent St Ignatius Loyola Church, whose organ is one of the outstanding instruments of its kind in the world. From its loft, Bill McGlaughlin welcomes Paul Jacobs, who at just 29 is among the organ's youngest and most accomplished champions, for triumphant Easter selections by Vierne, Bach, Reger and Messiaen. Paul Jacobs's performances have stirred a renaissance of appreciation for organ music among critics and audiences not typically engaged by the instrument. His programme explores Easter joy in a variety of moods and styles, from the solemn ecstasy of Olivier Messiaen's "Serene Alleluias of a soul longing for heaven" to Max Reger's exultant Fantasia on the chorale Wachet Auf! JS Bach's famed "9/8" Prelude and Fugue also helps us celebrate the day

  VIERNE: Fourth movement, Finale, from Symphony No 1 in D minor Op 14; BACH: Prelude & Fugue in C BWV547; MESSIAEN: Second movement, The serene Alleluias of a soul desiring heaven, from L'Ascension Suite; REGER: Chorale Fantasia on Wachet auf, ruft uns - die Stimme Op 52/2 (American Public Media)
