McVEIGH AND WIDOR 5th

Music
#1

Well… tonight and tomorrow turned out to be rainy and cold… so my intended Bruno session went out the window again… so I console myself with a Widor organ symphony, in this case, the magnificent and monumental 5th, and performed by Richard McVeigh. If you’ve not heard the entire symphony for (really big) organ and (really overworked) organist, check out his performance here. It’s in five movements, and begins at 19:55 into the video); the 5th, 6th, 8th, and 9th organ symphonies, any one of them alone would’ve been sufficient to earn Widor the name his organ and composition students gave him: Le grand maitre…
