Charles-Marie Widor: Solo Organ Works
Joseph Nolan follows his five internationally acclaimed volumes of the Complete Organ Symphonies of Charles-Marie Widor with a collection of the composer’s other works for solo organ. The disc includes his Trois Nouvelles Pièces, March Américaine, Marche Nuptiale and Memento — a collection of transcriptions of works by J.S. Bach.
This release completes a collection of 6 CDs that span Widor’s complete solo organ works, performed by Nolan on period Cavaillé-Coll organs from the French churches of St Sernin, Toulouse; St François-de Sales, Lyon; and La Madeleine, Paris.
In April 2016, Joseph Nolan was made a Chevalier (Knight) in the Order of French Arts and Letters for his services to French Music.
