The organ, king of instruments, stood for centuries solely in the service of church music. Widor, who as an organist felt himself bound to follow the traditions of Johann Sebastian Bach, was daring enough to undertake a historically significant step by founding the French organ school. Its representatives strove for the authentic performance of Bach’s works and redefined the almost boundless possibilities of their instrument in their own compositions.

Widor’s Organ Symphonies, which were certainly intended to incorporate orchestral characteristics, are notable for their finely worked counterpoint, prominent rhythm, sure sense of form and massive tonal efforts, as is impressively demonstrated here in this performance of the Allegro from Symphony No. 6. The introvert Salve Regina is in a very different vein, conjuring up mystic spheres with its Gregorian melodies.

Likewise, Dupre’s Prelude and Fugue is imbued with a sacral character, whereby the scurrying Prelude culminates in a powerful main section. His Triptyque provides a rather more worldly contrast with its dance-like nature, and nicely rounds off this record, which offers an excellent cross-section of the art of two giants of the organ. What is more, the 6,900 organ pipes of New York’s St. Thomas Church ensure that the listener will enjoy a truly powerful sound.
