Just for clarification: This new Jongen/Poulenc/MSSO recording is from a Church, St. John the Divine Houston, not the Moores Opera House at the University of Houston (which in addition to being accused, on occasion, of excessive dryness also lacks a pipe organ!). The church's huge 5-manual Létourneau pipe organ is given quite a work-out in the Jongen, and the performance is captured in Immersive Surround, from the POV of the conductor on the podium. Should be auditioned in multichannel for a real aural treat.
