This release is the sixth on the LPO label conducted by Yannick Nézet-Seguin. The performances on this album, recorded in 2013 and 2014, were part of his final season as Principal Guest Conductor. The Organ Concerto was performed by James O'Donnell as part of the Pull Out All The Stops festival, celebrating the restoration of the Royal Festival Hall organ, which had been out of use since 2005. These performances were very well reviewed at the time: "Yannick Nézet-Séguin is a master-painter and drew a rich spectrum of colours from the London Philharmonic Orchestra to decorate each of these scores in a distinctive way" (Bachtrack). "Yannick Nézet-Séguin [was] alive to the solemn and dramatic aspects of Poulenc's setting, it's radiance, jauntiness, pealing vitality and ritual dance" (Classical Source). The album features performances from star soloists: organist James O'Donnell; soprano Kate Royal; pianist Alexandre Tharaud. The Times said of the Organ Concerto: "under the meticulous direction of Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the London Philharmonic Orchestra's strings formed a pale gold halo around the organ as James O'Donnell navigated the crazy-mirror harmonies of Poulenc's concerto with brisk, unflappable agility."
