To mark the 200th anniversary of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll’s birth, and the 150th anniversary of his organ at St Sulpice, Paris, Fugue State Films has produced a high quality DVD / CD boxed set filmed in high definition containing the first ever full-length documentary about his life and work. This beautifully produced collection includes three DVDs, two CDs and an 80 page booklet, all crammed with content. That’s almost eight hours of filmed material, plus almost three hours of CD recordings. There is almost no overlap between the music recorded for the CDs and DVDs, as you will see. The first DVD contains the documentary The Genius of Cavaillé-Coll which consists of three 50 minute films. On the second DVD, the 16 organs built by Cavaillé-Coll are each demonstrated with the performance of at least one piece in each location. This includes filmed performances of magnificent works by Franck, Saint-Saëns, Guilmant, Boëllmann, Widor and Vierne on a superb selection of Cavaillé-Coll’s best organs. The improvisations and contemporary compositions on the third DVD are a brilliant feature of this collection and feature Daniel Roth, Olivier Latry, Pierre Pincemaille, Jean-Pierre Griveau, and Michel Bouvard. A fully illustrated 80-page booklet includes photos, details and specifications of all the organs and essays about the composers and music. The DVD will be region free and released in both NTSC and PAL versions. OHS strongly recommends UPS shipping with a tracking number.

The Genius of Cavaillé-Coll celebrates the life and work of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll (1811 – 1899), the great French organ builder whose work inspired the magnificent compositions of the French Romantic Organ School – Franck, Widor, and Guilmant.

The centrepiece of this lavish boxed-set is a three-part, 156-minute documentary about Cavaillé-Coll’s life and work. Two further DVDs include demonstrations of fifteen organs and more than three hours of music (all recorded in full surround sound). Two CDs feature a survey of French organ music from 1830 to 1900. An 80-page booklet contains specifications and colour photos of all the organs, track details and an introductory essay.

"The Genius of Cavaillé-Coll is a triumph - a fascinating and captivating film of huge scope and ambition. Lovers of organ music will be very grateful indeed."
BBC Music Magazine

"I can unreservedly commend this magnificent production which so eloquently celebrates Cavaillé-Coll, and which lays before us such a glorious banquet of ravishing sounds and images." The Organists' Review
