Daniel Brondel is the Associate
Director of Music at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral and a very active
organist, pianist and singer. He performs solo recitals in the United
States and France, and has also appeared as soloist in piano concertos
of Mozart and Rachmaninoff, and organ concertos of Poulenc and Jongen.
Daniel has also recorded and appeared regularly as countertenor soloist
(Schnittke’s Requiem and Bach’s B-minor Mass) with Grammy-Award-winner
Paul Halley, and has sung with the Gentlemen of the Choir of St. Thomas
Church Fifth Avenue. He has performed extensively in oratorios of Bach
and Handel, and in opera, notably the lead role of Oberon in Benjamin
Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. A graduate of the Eastman School
of Music, where he studied organ with David Higgs and improvisation
with Gerre Hancock and Rick Erickson, Mr. Brondel holds a Master of
Music degree in Organ Performance.
On this CD Daniel plays popular
organ works that show off the full dynamic range of the Kilgen Pipe
Organ in the Cathedral. The first track on the CD showcases the “new”
Triforium Trumpet installed during the Peragallo cleaning and
rebuilding of the pipe organ in 1997. A.R. Schopp’s Sons built this
high pressure trumpet stop for the Peragallo firm.
