Michel Corrette's Improvisations on Gregorian chant tunes for Organ
-
I'm always on the lookout for more French Baroque and these from IMSLP look lovely:

Hadn't seen (or even heard of) these particular Corrette compositions before; but I note that a fairly elderly Eastern European recording (long sitting on my shelves) of his concertos for organ and strings has turned up, at least in part, on YouTube. This particular concerto sounds so Vivaldian that it causes me to wonder if Corrette had actually plagiarized it from the Red Priest. Make of it what you will:

Enchanting! I've always thought the organ/flute combination especially felicitous.Thanked by 1R J Stove
