Having performed extensively in North America, Europe and South America, Latvian Brazilian Cristiano Rizzotto is an active recitalist who frequently performs the works of contemporary composers. He actively promotes and supports the ongoing development of new music for the organ. He became a published composer after his Toccata was released by Wayne Leupold Editions in 2014.

Cristiano’s current goals are to continue to develop his skills as a church and concert musician in the United States; to use the knowledge obtained to cooperate with the resurrection and development of the organ culture in Brazil; to represent and bring awareness to Latvia and Brazil through his work abroad; to establish a stronger dialogue between the organ sceneries and professional organists of Brazil and the United States of America; and contribute to the American musical and liturgical scenery.

Fugue sur le thème du Carillon des heures de la Cathédrale de Soissons, Opus 12 – Maurice Duruflé (1902 – 1986)

Duruflé studied organ with Charles Tournemire and Louis Vierne. Duruflé was a highly self-critical composer. His musical language can be viewed as a synthesis of the impressionist tradition of Debussy and Ravel and the modal, Gregorian-inspired style of Gabriel Fauré. Duruflé made several recordings on the organ at Soissons Cathedral, whose clock chimes are theme for the Fugue, Op. 12 (1962). Dedicated to the organist of Soissons Cathedral, Canon Henri Doyen, this fugue gradually builds up to a toccata-like conclusion, while the eight-note theme is treated with a variety of ingenious contrapuntal devices.
