Louis Vierne (1870-1935)
Complete Organ Symphonies
Jeremy Filsell, organ
Vierne, it seems to me, is often quite unfairly overlooked in favor of the other french organ composer "par excellence", Charles-Marie Widor, even though he's an incredible composer capable of both incredible organ writing in his symphonies and amazingly beautiful chamber music, his Piano Quintet being an extremely unfairly unknown piece that is really, really great.
His six organ symphonies are towering monuments to the biggest instrument in the world, and are full of incredibly huge moments and very subtle and even reverent ones.
These recordings by Jeremy Filsell are nothing short of breathtaking, even though the reverb in the church is so thick a bit of detail is lost. Don't let that fool you, though, this is great music in every sense of the word.
