My mentor the Rev'd Dr. Joseph S. Toth Jr. studied with Marcel Dupre when he was stationed in France and studying organ & choral music in France. I absolutly love the way Dupre plays Bach. It so deliberate and meaningful. Just makes you cry when you hear especially this particular piece.
This is a marvelous recording which showcases again the masterful playing of Marcel Dupre on one the greatest instruments in the world. There are blends and sonorities in the reeds of this Cavaille-Coll which almost defy description, as if we enter an altogether different environment untouched by modern cares or anxieties. I cannot walk away from these sounds or delete them from my conscience. Angel recorded Maurice and Marie-Madeleine Durufle at Soissons cathedral playing Bach years ago.

Wonderful to hear this recording especially to hear how Widor and Vierne not to mention Guilmant would have coached his playing and technique.
