Boellmann/ Davin/ Demarquette - Orchestral Works

Léon Boëllmann's Suite gothique, with it's suave Prière à Notre-Dame and it's spirited Toccata, rapidly became a beloved war-horse of organists throughout the world and gained the composer great renown. The Suite's fame, however, caused other works by Boëllmann - who had been born in the same year as Debussy and who died in the same year as Brahms - to be forgotten. Patrick Davin chose to present Boëllmann's symphonic works on this recording, the last he was to make before his untimely death.
