“One of the most brilliant and talented organists on the international concert scene.”
– RUSSIAN PERM NEWS
The performances of Raúl Prieto Ramírez — the newly appointed San Diego Civic Organist and Artistic Director of the Spreckels Organ — have been described with words such as “sizzling,” “iconoclastic” and “transcendent.” Performing a wide-ranging classical and popular repertoire on the Forbes Pipe Organ with the flair and bravado of a matador, this Spanish master has an absolutely riveting way of entertaining audiences young and old, music experts, and casual listeners like remarkably few others. His afternoon recital includes Bach’s Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C Major, BWV 564; Liszt’s paraphrases on arias from Aidaand Rigolettoand his Mephisto Waltz; and César Franck’s Pièce héroïque.
