À propos de ce compositeur

“Charles-Marie-Jean-Albert Widor (21 February 1844 – 12 March 1937) was a French organist, composer, teacher, conductor and critic of the late Romantic era. As a composer he is best known for his ten symphonies for solo organ, a genre he invented. He was helped in this by the innovative organs built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. The final Toccata of his Organ Symphony No. 5 is frequently played as recessional music at weddings and other celebrations. He was the longest-serving organist of Saint-Sulpice in Paris, a post he held for 63 years (January 1870 – 31 December 1933).”
