 In September 2009, the new organ in the Church of Santa Maria, Deba, built by the Grenzing organ company was introduced to a wide public with a series of inauguration concerts. The french organist and composer Thierry Escaich, one of the world's most important improvisers, performed the opening concert on 5 September, 2009. He improvised on own themes and on traditional themes from the basque folklore. Considering the great popularity of the txistu, the small Basque flute, we suggested to invite a txistulari for this concert in order to have him introducing the individual themes on the txistu flute. The opening concert was recorded live. This recording communicates a very authentic impression of the spectacular live experience of an unforgettable concert evening, honoured with long-lasting applause by the numerous listeners.
