Works for Organ 9

Dupré's works for organ reflect his equal concern for the liturgical and concert roles played by that instrument. A mind as searching and humanistic as his would not have been content with restricting the organ to it's typical ecclesiastical confines (though what he does to revive the art of the church organist is on a par with Bach's work); rather, Dupré answers the urge to explore the outside world, to see what might transpire when organ and other instruments (beyond the voice) combine. Thus we are presented with the three major chamber works on this recording, while his compositions also include two concertos for organ and orchestra and three works for organ and piano.
