About
A rich anthology of the organ music of Louis Marchand, Le Grand, who settled in Paris at the end of Lully's life and died one year before the first performance of Rameau's 'Hippolyte et Aricie'. The First Book, three Suites and the Grand Dialogue reveal the dimensions of this opus where humour courts with seriousness, innovation with mastery of form, and studied compositional procedures with sheer pleasure of timbre.
