Amy Pfrimmer - LE DOUX APPEL- MÉLODIES OF CHARLES-MARIE WIDOR (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937), one of the most influential French organists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, jokingly referred to himself as the substitute organist of the church of St. Sulpice, Paris, despite his 64-year tenure there. While best known or his ten organ symphonies, Widor composed in a wide variety of sacred and secular genres: chamber music, orchestral works, ballet, operatic music, works for piano, and most importantly for this recording, mélodies. In his day, Widor won respect as a composer, organist, professor, and cultural ambassador of France. In 1890 he became César Franck’s immediate successor as Professor of Organ at the Paris Conservatoire, and, in 1896, he succeeded Théodore Dubois as Conservatoire Professor of Composition. Widor’s students in organ and composition included such distinguished names as Marcel Dupré, Louis Vierne, Charles Tournemire, Darius Milhaud, Albert Schweitzer, and Edgard Varèse.
