Cesar Franck: Trois Pieces / Trois Chorals

For the present disc, Pétur has chosen to focus on César Franck, performing the composer's Three Pieces and Three Chorales 'pour grand orgue' on an instrument perfectly suited to the repertoire. Completed in 1880, the great organ in the Sainte-Croix cathedral of Orléans is a major - and wellpreserved - example of the art of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, the same maker who had previously built Franck's beloved organ in Sainte-Clotilde in Paris.
