MANS in de Bavo by Martin Mans
MANS in de Bavo is Martin Mans's release from 2017, a rich set of works for the king of instruments. It runs to 60 minutes across 15 tracks on Mirasound. I found it some years after it appeared and was glad I did.
Why listen?
The playing is rich and resonant, the full range of the organ put to use. Lines build slowly and bloom into broad, sustained colour. It is music that fills a space and asks you to slow down.
Favourite piece: Improvisatie Psalm 100
Improvisatie Psalm 100 is the track I return to, the clearest statement of what the album is doing. It rewards repeat listening.
Key takeaway
MANS in de Bavo is a fine place to start. Give it a listen.
