In this wonderful recording the two rarely heard organ symphonies nos. 1 & 2 composed by the "father of the French organ symphony" Charles-Marie Widor (1844 - 1937) are played on the instrument on which the composer himself had been working as an organist for 60 years:

the Aristide Cavaillé-Coll organ of Saint-Sulpice in Paris. Could one imagine a more ideal instrument for this project? Martin Bambauer has been studying with the current Titulaire of Saint-Sulpice (Daniel Roth) and thanks to his highly musical performances complies with the famous French symphonic organ tradition... you will hear it!
