Widor: Symphonies for Organ No. 9 & 10 |

Presentation
In the final years of the 19th century, Widor would twice return to the organ symphony, but in very different, renewed ways. Having more or less exhausted the ‘pianistic’ virtuosity characteristic of the genre he himself had created in his earlier, gloriously ‘profane’, concert Symphonies, he henceforth opted for a form both more interiorized and nonetheless generously developed. While giving counterpoint an important place, he added a ‘liturgical’ dimension through the introduction of a truly new component: Gregorian inspiration, height-ened by a touch of modality – a return to the old in a timeless context.
