Kurt Lueders
Cavaillé-Coll (1914) de la collégiale Saint-Pierre à Douai


The organ works played by Kurt Lueders on this recording were composed in the spirit of César Franck by his students and admirers. Many are unrecorded. All are from the period before the First World War.

Charles Tournemire's magnum opus "Triple Choral" from 1910 is the only piece that has been recorded before by other performers, the rest of the repertoire on this disc should be new to the organ community.

Kurt Lueders, is an American organist and musicologist living in Paris. Mr. Lueders is recognized as an expert for french organ music of the second half of the 19th-century and first half of the 20th-century. He has saved numerous french organ compositions from oblivion and edited them for publication. He is an expert on the organ builder Cavaillé-Coll and was recently featured in the DVD set "The Genius of Cavaillé-Coll". He studied with Maurice Duruflé and Edouard Souberbielle. He is an active recitalist and has made several recordings. He truly understands the spirit and atmosphere of the compositions on this recording.

The Mutin-Cavaillé-Coll organ at St. Pierre in Douai is a four-manual, 68-stop instrument and was built around 1910 for the Great Hall of the Imperial Conservatory in St Petersburg, Russia. The organ was finished in 1914, but the declaration of war and the 1917 Revolution prevented its installation in Russia. During World War I it remained set up in the Cavaillé-Coll shop and was later installed in Douai. Louis Vierne dedicated it on Sunday 12 November 1922. The instrument is a perfect contemporary to the period when this music was composed. The Mutin-Cavaillé-Coll in Douai was the ideal organ for Kurt Lueders to make this recording on. No compromise of any kind is required to give the ideal tonal color asked for by the composers.
