FRANCK: THE ORGAN WORKS - MICHEL BOUVARD (2 CDS)

César Franck was an architect of sounds. "My organ is an orchestra", he famously declared. Thanks to the genius of the organ builder Cavaillé- Coll, the beauty of the organ of the basilica of Saint- Sernin in Toulouse illuminates an oeuvre of immense musical intensity. Michel Bouvard talks about his passion for Franck's world and offers us a few hints about how to listen to it.
