about

Fifty-five years after Franck last played the organ at the Church of St. Clotilde, Jean Langlais (1907–1991) became organist there. His organ output was staggering in quantity, diverse in nature, and explorative of every formal idiom known to the composer. The two works on this recording display Langlais’ diversity to good effect. The soft chords of the Cantilène form a gentle, sensuous background over which floats a simple line of a serene melody on the Flugelhorn stop. A fugal interlude on the Clarinet stop flows into the opening theme, but with a distant, celestial 4' Flute to impart a slightly strange, ethereal mood to the end.
- Jonathan Dimmock & Christopher Greenleaf
