Vincent Dubois

Vincent Dubois – organist of Notre-Dame in Paris – pays tribute to the organ masters who have worked in ‘his’ cathedral. It will be a journey through time, from the Middle Ages, via the Renaissance and Baroque, to the present day. And naturally, there is also room at the Cathedral’s Bätz organ for the symphonic grandeur of Widor, Vierne, and Duruflé. An impressive ode to centuries of typically Parisian technique, sound, and expression.
