Vierne / Tharp - Complete Organ Symphonies 3 - Super Audio CD

Louis Vierne (1870-1937) undoubtedly led the Organ Symphony to it's stylistic climax. In the tradition of this original French genre he stands in line with his teachers and pioneers Csar Franck and Charles-Marie Widor. The last two relevant works were written in 1924 and 1930. AEOLUS has already published Symphonies No. 1-4 with Daniel Roth on the famous Aristide Cavaill-Coll organ (1862) of Saint-Sulpice in Paris in recent years. For the last episode he kindly left 'his' instrument to his younger colleague Stephen Tharp from New York. Stephen Tharp, hailed as "the organist for the connoisseur" (organ - Journal fr die Orgel, Germany), "the thinking person's performer" (Het Orgel), "every bit the equal of any organist" (The American Organist" magazine) and "the consummate creative artist" (Michael Barone, Pipedreams), is recognized as one of the great concert organists of our age.
