Widor's Tenth and finale Organ Symphony, performed on the great gallery organ of the Basilique de Saint-Sernin, Toulouse, France. 56 stops are spread across three manuals of 56 notes and a pedalboard of 30 notes to form one of the greatest instruments Cavaille-Coll ever created. The symphony itself is one of two (the last) Widor composed in his late style, basing itself in religious literature instead of a symphonic form, but, contrarily, finally conforming to the four movements standard with orchestral symphonies. It's my personal favorite thing written for organ of all time ever except for Durufle's Veni Creator. The organist is Michael Bouvard.

    The first time I heard it is when Roth played it in his early recordings at St. Sulpice.

    Wonderful to hear it on this fine instrument.
