 Signum Classics are proud to
announce Jeremy Filsell's second release on Signum
Records - The Symphonies of Louis Vierne.
Louis Vierne, one of the great concert organists and composers of the
20th century, is best known for his organ works. In each of the six
Symphonies for Organ, Vierne explores a method of generating a symphony
from just a few themes. He once stated that he was far more attracted by
musical thematicism than by tone colour.
Born virtually blind, Vierne showed an early aptitude for music. His
works are said to reflect the vast and decorated architecture of Notre
Dame in Paris.
