FAUCHARD: Symphony No.4 - Emmanuel Hocdé, organ

Louis Vierne’s disciple, influenced by Charles-Marie Widor and Marcel Dupré, Auguste Fauchard delivers a splendidly well-structured score, where unity vies with inspiration. Canon Fauchard’s powerful personality transcends evidently his models ; the often sweet, sometimes sensual, always elegant writing and the refined timbre amounting to genuine orchestration contribute to making this sonic monument a masterpiece of organ literature.
