Mark Russell and Robert Sandall present a unique mix of musical styles and influences.
Although both held prestigious jobs at city churches and at the Conservatoire, Marcel Dupre (1886-1971) and Maurice Durufle (1902-1986) were very different organist-composers in the world of 20th century Parisian church music. Tim Thorne introduces a selection of music comparing the differing but equally influential approaches of Dupre (the virtuoso recitalist) and Durufle (the retiring perfectionist) to writing, performing, improvising, and their particular use of plainsong.
