Charles-Marie Widor lived to be 93 and his life spans many
generations. Born in 1844 when Mendelssohn was still alive, he
experienced huge musical, social and political upheavals, but
nonetheless, remained true to the romantic spirit until his death
(and Ravel's) in 1937.
His Lyonnaise family were organ builders and his gifts for the
instrument were apparent very early on. Throughout his life, he
was the veritable embodiment of its splendour and might,
especially across France, and by the turn of the century, he was
the greatest influence and point of reference where organ building
was concerned. With Camille Coll's help (he was a close friend of
the family), he studied in Brussels and gained strong support from
Saint-Saδns and Gounod. Through the latter's influence, he
eventually got the Paris appointment in 1870 as master of the loft
in Saint-Suplice, a position he was to remain in for over 60
years. He was one of the first romantics to conceive a symphony
for solo instrument and his 10 organ symphonies are considered as
the core of his vast repertoire. His first eight are, what one
might call, secularised concert suites, but the "Gothique", Op. 70
(No. 9) and "Romane", Op. 73 (No. 10), written in 1894/95 and 1900
respectively, are full of specific liturgical elements, in spite
of Widor's lukewarm attitude towards religion in general.
Although written on an epic scale, these two pieces favour
moderation, concentration and above all, unity. Other hallmarks
include a high polyphonic language, together with intricate
elaboration and a register of profuse imagination. Jeremy Filsell
gives immaculate and inspiring interpretations, full of eloquent
beauty and regal nobility, and his ardent advocacy for these works
will certainly enhance their popularity even more. Another gem of
a disc in AS&V's long and outstanding series of French organ
works.s
