“A WHITER SHADE OF PALE“ - XAVER VARNUS PLAYS HIS OWN CONCERT HALL’S ORGAN WITH JOHNNY LAKE (GUITAR)
I dedicate this recording of “A Whiter Shade of Pale“ to the loving memory of life long friend, the legendary Hungarian actress, Mari Törőcsik (1935-2021). Transcription of the 1967 Procol Harum song for organ and guitar, performed by guitarist Johnny Lake and Xaver Varnus on the Casavant Organ in his own concert hall in Brooklyn, Nova Scotia.

Xaver Varnus’ first piano teacher was Emma Németh, one of the last pupils of Debussy. He has played virtually every important organ in the world, including those in Bach’s Thomaskirche in Leipzig (2014), Berliner Dom (2013), Notre-Dame (1981), Saint-Sulpice (2006) and Saint-Eustache (1996) in Paris, National Shrine in Washington, D.C. (1985), and Canterbury Cathedral (2004), as well as the largest existing instrument in the world, the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia (1985). His Quadruple Platinum Disc winning album “From Ravel to Vangelis“ (SONY, 2007), is the best-selling organ CD ever. As a Canadian citizen, Xaver Varnus resides in Berlin, and in Brooklyn, Nova Scotia Peninsula, where he opened Varnus Hall in a 19th century church. “Put simply, Varnus is a monster talent, every bit as stimulating and individual as the late Glenn Gould“ (The Globe & Mail, Canada’s National Newspaper). “He is one of the most influential figure in organ music in the early twenty-first century.“ (Mark Wigmore, The New Classical FM, Canada).
The Varnus Organ Hall needs your help. We are asking the community’s support to restoring and operating Varnus Hall, Canada’s only private organ concert venue owned by Xaver Varnus, to provide a worthy home for organists, famous artists and young talent alike, from around the world to perform, and broadcast their concerts online. We are grateful to you if you can help our work with any donations.
