Description: An inexpensive way for collectors to find out about this French composer, who left only 14 opus numbers, whose Requiem (heard here in its 1957 version for strings, trumpet, harp and organ) is an austere yet luminous descendant of Fauré and whose organ œuvre is more brilliant and technically virtuosic than his sacred choral works but still retains their immediacy of communication. 2 CDs. Latin-English texts.
