We are grateful to you if you can help our work with any donations.
CineMusic for three organs. Recorded live in two sold-out concert in the the Budapest Great Synagogue on the 15th and 16th of October, 2017. Xaver Varnus plays the great organ of the church, with the participation of Balazs Barnkopf (Hauptwerk Theater Organ), Balazs Elischer (Hammond Organ) and Miklos Szitha (percussion).

Born in Budapest, Xaver Varnus 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)
