The internationally renowned French organist, recitalist, and composer AlexandreGuilmant (1837-1911) was instrumental in popularizing organ works in the 19thcentury through the attractive qualities of his many compositions as well as hishighly acclaimed performances. In the second half of the 19th century the timelydevelopment of the Cavaille-Coll organ--an instrument of unsurpassed quality and range--did much to establish a school of "symphonic" organ playing in which Guilmant and Charles-Marie Widor played an integral part. This appealing styleis exemplified by the works featured in this excellent new compilation. Written between 1874 and 1909, the five sonatas included here consist of threeto six sections each and follow diverse formal designs. Reprinted from the orig- inal editions edited by the distinguished musical authority Arthur EaglefieldHull, founder of the British Music Society, the collection includes Sonata No. 1in D Minor, Op. 42; Sonata No. 2 in D Major, Op. 50; Sonata No. 3 in C Minor, Op.56; Sonata No. 4 in D Minor, Op. 61; and Sonata No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 80.
