Riffs For Organ

Marcel Dupré had a long and busy career as a recitalist, composer, teacher, writer and editor and he exerted enormous influence on all aspects of the organist's art in the early part of this century. Dupré's place in the evolution of twentieth century organ music has yet to be fully understood or appreciated and there are those who would seek to detract from the enormous impact his playing and teaching had on countless students who studied with him. It cannot be ignored that the list of his Premier Prix students at the Paris Conservatoire contains nearly every important twentieth-century French organist and composer, including Marie-Claire Alain, Jean Langlais, Jean Guillou, Jeanne Demessieux, and Olivier Messiaën.

Classical / Organ / 20th Century

Shostakovich wrote only one work for organ, the Passacaglia Op. 29b composed as an entr'acte between the two scenes of Act II of Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk Op. 29. We hear it in performances and recordings scored for full orchestra because he realized that not many opera houses would have full-scale pipe organs. One wishes a recording would be made some day of Lady Macbeth with the organ rather than the full orchestra being used in its original context as it is absolutely shattering. Turn the volume up – and brace yourself for the explosion of sound!
