Dances of Life …
Dances of Death
(Audio CD)
Janette Fishell

In 1995, when this CD first appeared, few organists were aware of composer Petr Eben.  Today, Petr Eben is revered as a leading Czech organ music composer, with works that are found in academic curriculum as well as in concert.  American organist Janette Fishell, who is now on the music faculty of Indiana University at Bloomington, and who studied with Mr. Eben, provides compelling interpretations of a sampling of Petr Eben’s organ solo compositions.

The American Record Guide ”…Fishell has done an invaluable service to Eben and new listeners by presenting this short sampler. Her performance is first-rate; she has an intrinsic feel for Eben’s music and an obvious joy in performing it. Her use of the Casavant Organ of St. George’s Episcopal, Nashville, is without flaw. A truly enjoyable recording.” – Bond
