Anna Lapwood chooses her favourite recordings of Franck's Three Organ Chorales
Cesar Franck composed his Three Organ Chorales in 1890, the year he died. They were clearly intended to be played on a French symphonic organ like the Cavaill茅-Coll instrument at Sainte-Clotilde in Paris, where he was organist. Franck was a great musical architect and helped innovate the "cyclic style". But he was also a great master of melody and harmony - and you'll find many of his tunes bury their way into your ears - where they will stay for the rest of the day.
