Widor Cpo

Charles-Marie Widor: this name is the embodiment of French organ music of the nineteenth century. The illustrious organ builder Cavaillé-Coll promoted Widors career while he was still a student and recommended him for the post of titular organist at St-Sulpice. Widor quickly gained renown as a composer, and his ten symphonies for organ solo are regarded even today as the non plus ultra of the virtuoso French school.
