The English Organ, a ‘dazzling showcase of repertoire and instruments’ (Gramophone Magazine), presented by Daniel Moult and filmed over more than a year in forty locations in three continents, is the definitive documentary about the story of the English organ and its music over five hundred years. ‘Emphatically and urgently recommended,’ writes Fanfare Magazine, ‘this is one of the most important organ recordings of all time, and a model of how music documentaries ought to be done.’

Aristide Cavaillé-Coll was the greatest organ builder of the 19th century. Creator of such instruments as those in St Sulpice, Paris, St Ouen, Rouen, he devised a new way of building organs that led directly to the development of the French Romantic school of organ composition. This set of 42 films is the magnum opus of Fugue State Films.

Charles-Marie Widor was a true musical force: a virtuoso who revolutionised organ playing in France, a composer who invented the organ symphony and wrote the most famous toccata since Bach, and an enormously influential figure in French cultural history.

For this boxset we filmed at fabulous organs in Central Germany by organbuilders Bach knew. Instruments include the two Silbermanns in Rötha; the Trost in Waltershausen and the Hildebrandt in Sangerhausen.

César Franck is one of the most fascinating of all composers. He had the vision to create the French organ school, and his compositions are played, studied, listened to and loved by organists everywhere.
