Ever since the twelfth century when Léonin and Pérotin as organists of Notre-Dame in Paris helped make France the musical center of western civilization, the organ in France has maintained a vitality and popularity peculiar to that country. The rich melodic mine of Gregorian chant, the unbroken emphasis on liturgical improvisation, the imaginative and innovative developments in organ building: all these have been factors in a strong tradition which has produced such composers and performers as Francois Couperin, César Franck and Olivier Messiaen. This recording is a sampling of the last two and one-half centuries of French organ music. Grace Cathedral is an especially appropriate setting

The Absolute Sound

The Absolute Sound

"Dave Wilson's choice of mikes and their placement… has captured the musical lines of these pieces with greater clarity than it is possible to hear from the usual listening positions. I have nothing but admirations for the realism they have captured."
