Charles-Marie Widor”s name is synonymous with 19th c. French organ music. His ten symphonies for organ solo are still regarded as the non plus ultra of the virtuoso French school. Christian Schmitt is again the interpreter of this first, freshly recorded organ symphonies solo opus. His recording of the Organ Symphonies opp. 42, 3, and 69 was awarded a 2013 ECHO Klassik prize. The Saint-Ouen organ, which Mr. Schmitt plays, is one of the last instruments built by Cavaillé-Coll (Widor friend and early supporter), and has survived without modification, lending it high historical significance.
