Andantino quasi allegretto ABOUT THE COMPOSER: César Auguste-Jean-Guillaume-Hubert Franck (10 December 1822 – 8 November 1890) was a Romantic composer, pianist, organist, and music teacher who worked in Paris during his adult life. He was born at Liège, in what is now Belgium (though at the time of his birth it was part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands). He gave his first concerts there in 1834 and studied privately in Paris from 1835, where his teachers included Anton Reicha. After a brief return to Belgium, and a disastrous reception for an early oratorio Ruth, he moved to Paris, where he married and embarked on a career as teacher and organist. He gained a reputation as a formidable musical improviser, and travelled widely within France to demonstrate new instruments built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. In 1858, he became organist at the Basilica of St. Clotilde, Paris, a position he retained for the rest of his life. He became professor at the Paris Conservatoire in 1872; he took French nationality, a requirement of the appointment. His pupils included Vincent d'Indy, Ernest Chausson, Louis Vierne, Charles Tournemire, Guillaume Lekeu and Henri Duparc. After acquiring the professorship, Franck wrote several pieces that have entered the standard classical repertoire, including symphonic, chamber, and keyboard works. ABOUT THE PERFORMER: Joris Verdin is both organist and musicologist. This combination is the reason for his preference of reviving forgotten music at the same time as he creates contemporary compositions. He has recorded over forty CDs as a soloist, spanning many musical eras and styles. After various activities as accompanist, arranger and producer he now focuses on the organ as well as the harmonium and has become internationally reputed as a specialist. He teaches the organ at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp and is professor at the University of Leuven, Belgium. Master classes, musical editions and articles are an important part of his activities. Amongst them, the first complete edition of César Franck harmonium works and the first handbook of harmonium technique. The Spanish town Torre de Juan Abad (Ciudad Real) appointed Joris Verdin as honorary organist of the historical organ built by Gaspar de la Redonda in 1763. Obtained Diapason d’Or (and “Event of the month”) (France) and Cecilia-award (Belgian Press) in 2001 for his Franck organ works recording. A compilation of his organ works was recorded in 1998 (RIC 233442) and reissued in 2014. Musician of the year of the Flanders Festival 2002. Artistic adviser and inauguration of the Liszt “orgue-piano” in Vienna, 2005. Since 2007, after inaugurating the restored Cavaillé-Coll organ 1864, artistic leader of the “Voix Célestes” Program at the Fondation Royaumont, France. Obtained “Le meilleur Widor” by ClassiqueInfo for his recording of Widor’s symphonies I-IV. In 2011 he received the "Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik". The November 2011 issue of the "American Record Guide" van november 2011 puts it this way: "Verdin, the apparent Dean of harmonium players, certainly knows how to get the most from the harmonium". In March 2012, his recording of Lefébure-Wely's Suites pour Harmonicorde was honoured with the "Diapason d'Or" (French musical press). In September 2012 his recording of organ music by Willaert, in collaboration with the Capilla Flamenca, received "Choc de la Musique", "Diapason d'Or", “Klara Prize” (Flemish Radio) and Cecilia-award. 2014: "Diapason d'Or" for the "Guide des Instruments de Musique" in collaboration with musicians from the Ricercar Label. 2015: “Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik” for the DVD César Franck, Father of the Organ Symphony, with a substantial contribution by Joris Verdin on performance practice; artistic director of the Gothenburg International Organ Academy.
