Description: This is here for the 1905 symphony by Maquaire (his First and also his last), a fine four-movement French Romantic work in the style of his teacher Widor; there is no other recording available. Also, one doesn't associate Françaix with organ music (although there was a 1995 CD devoted to it), so his 1960 six-movement suite of Carmelite nun character studies (i.e. movements named after nuns who may or may not have existed) may fill a repertoire hole for collectors. Martin Setchell (Rieger organ of Christchurch Town Hall, New Zealand).
