Léon Boëllmann
composer
Léon Boëllmann’s organ music, above all the Suite gothique and its hard-driving Toccata, sits at the centre of the late Romantic French repertoire. The writing favours clear forms, dramatic minor themes and the full colour of the instrument.
Franjo Dugan
composer
Franjo Dugan is a composer. His music is included on a recording made to mark 150 years of the Bishop Kelly Pipe Organ at St Patrick’s, Mentone.
Adolf Friedrich Hesse
composer
Adolf Friedrich Hesse (1809–1863) was a German organist and composer, one of the leading organ virtuosi of his generation and a figure in the Bach tradition of Silesia.
Louis Vierne
composer
Louis Vierne’s organ music balances elegant form with romantically rich harmony: six symphonies, fantasy pieces crowned by the Carillon de Westminster, and liturgical scores written for the great French instruments.
Johann Gottfried Walther
composer
Johann Gottfried Walther (1684–1748) was a German organist, composer, music theorist and lexicographer of the Baroque era. He is remembered for his organ works and for the first major German dictionary of music.
