Meyer Media announces a new organ CD, Cantius (TBR 03.25.22), featuring Gail Archer with her tenth recording release. Dedicated to drawing attention to Eastern European composers through ongoing research, performances, and recordings, Archer performs rarely heard works by six Polish composers of the 19th through 21st centuries. Named in honor of St. John Cantius, a popular saint in Poland, the album was recorded in Chicago’s St. John Cantius Church with its 1926 Casavant organ. (For information on the church and its Casavant and other organs, see “A history of the organs of Saint John Cantius Catholic Church, Chicago, Illinois,” by Stephen Schnurr, in the January 2022 issue, pages 12–19.)
