Editor’s Choice for Widor box-set from Classicalsource following on from their five-star review last month!
“My fourth (bonus) choice is Widor’s Complete Organ Works, championed heroically by Joseph Nolan. Not that organ music and me necessarily get on, in general, but what a gift this set is – taking us beyond the Toccata for Widor’s ten ambitious Symphonies captured in floor-vibrating sound. With exemplary and illuminating presentation this is a box-set to reckon with and keep handy for exploring”

“This is a landmark release. The quality of Nolan’s playing, the scope of this project, and Orga’s extensive, anecdote-rich and enlightening introduction, provide an illuminating portrait of a gigantic figure whose style evolved continuously. One can only hope that this edition will lead to a full reassessment of Widor as an artist of epic grandeur and ingenuity”
