The fifth volume in Signum's series of Charles-Marie Widor's Organ Symphonies, performed by Joseph Nolan on the magnificent Cavaillé-Coll organs of La Madeleine, Paris and Saint-Sernin, Toulouse. Bridging the generations from Mendelssohn to Messiaen, Empire to Republic, Widor was born to the organ. His Lyonnaise kinsfolk were organ-builders, he showed early talent for the instrument, and for decades was the embodiment of its might and splendour across the Gallic domain: his 'Organ Symphonies' being genre-defining in their influence.
"Nolan's instruments have been captured in beautiful sound. The engineers have made this recording a real winner. It is only to be hoped that Nolan is allowed to go on to record the organ symphonies with orchestra, as well as the shorter works." (MusicWeb April 2016)
Tracks:
Organ Symphony No. 9 in C minor, Op. 70 'Gothique'
