Vierne / Roth,daniel - Organ Symphonies Vol. 1 & 2 - Super Audio CD

Daniel Roth, widely acclaimed as one of the leading French organ virtuosos, has held several prestigious positions as both performer and teacher. At the age of twenty he made his debut at the organ of the Basilique du Sacr-Coeur in Montmartre-Paris, as assistant of his teacher, Madame Rolande Falcinelli. He later succeeded her as titular organist, a post which he held until 1985 when he was appointed titular organist at St-Sulpice, the famous Paris church where his predecessors were Charles-Marie Widor, Marcel Dupr and Jean-Jacques Grunenwald. A former student at the Paris Conservatory, Daniel Roth's teachers have included Marie-Claire Alain and Maurice Duruf. He has won several competitions, among them the Grand Prix de Chartres 1971, interpretation and improvisation. The present release compiles the first two volumes in Roth's esteemed Vierne Symphonies series, and includes Vierne's organ symphonies 1 through 4.
