The True Vierne

Peter J. Bice | McKinney, TX United States | 08/20/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The life of Louis Vierne certainly had its highs and lows. One can experience the full range of the composers thoughts and emotions with Mme. Alain's superb recording of Vierne's first four symphonies. The recording on Cavaille-Coll's wonderful instrument at Caen is state-of-the-art, as is Mme. Alain's playing. Marie-Claire Alain has an uncanny knack of being able to literally reach inside the soul of a composer, as she has done with her latest recorings of Franck and her brother Jehan. You will experience the man as well as the music in this double CD set. All we need now is a recording of the last two symphones!"
