From Bach To Bach - The Organist Of The Century

Description

To mark the centenary of her birth, Warner Music pays tribute to Marie-Claire Alain, "the Organist of the Century," with this 53-CD box set. A true force of nature, the woman nicknamed "Our Lady of the Organ" left her mark on music history through her discography and her perpetual quest for the right emotion. This exceptional box set traces the evolution of her art between 1954 and 2000, with her final complete Bach recording as the guiding thread. From Buxtehude's architectures to the frescoes of Franck or Messiaen, this edition includes a quarter of previously unreleased CDs and brings together her dialogues with Maurice André or Jean-Pierre Rampal. Including the works of her father Albert and her brother Jehan, this monument restored in high definition by the Art & Son studio immortalizes the discipline and instinct of an unparalleled artist.
